Friday, October 22

Picking up with the small group activity begun yesterday, we watchd the segment of the Odessa Steps scene from Battleship Potemkin once again, and students regrouped in their small groups to prepare their presentations to the class as a whole.  We then heard analyses of camera angles and movement, subjective use of the camera, pictorial composition, visual motifs, and juxtaposition and pacing of shots (montage).

HW due Tuesday:
Single-scene analysis essay.
