Film Studies Daily Log

Friday, December 18

We continued briefly our discussion of the musical score of Citizen Kane and of the significance of sound editing more generally.

Students received an assignment for the break:

On Tuesday, January 5, you are to turn in a typed assignment which has two parts: the first involves cutting and pasting, while the second requires writing of your own.

Part 1: After consulting several websites from the Links page of the class website copy the five or six critical comments or passages which you find most interesting and insightful.

Part 2: In response to those passages, write a 400-word piece of your own describing, analysing and evaluating the film, its techniques, impact and significance.
