Film Studies Daily Log

Thursday, May 6

We watched a five-minute documentary introduction to City Lights and a seven-minute outtake from it and discussed Chaplin's art.

Afterwards, students received, and we went over, the assignment sheet for the second outside viewing essay, an analysis of a single element of filmcraft in the each student's assigned/chosen film. Some students checked out films for the purpose.

At the end of class students picked up their first outside viewing essays with grades and comments.

Tomorrow: Mr. McCormick will begin showing the class Citizen Kane.

HW due May 20:
The single-element analysis.
