Film Studies Daily Log

Friday, October 29

Mr. P announced a quiz on Tuesday over early Soviet film, including Battleship Potemkin, The Man with a Movie Camera, and all associated handouts.

We examined the nature of montage in Man with a Movie Camera with reference to a specific sequence (34:19 ff.) juxtaposing shots over different sorts of work.  Is this montage of association or montage of contrast?  We then watched the sequence again with Yuri Tsivian's commentary. His analysis involved both association and contrast.

HW due Tuesday:
Reread handouts in preparation for quiz.
