Zoetrope

While I don’t normally pay too much attention to the awards shows, this years was a milestone.  Aside from Avatar not winning, The Hurt Locker did.  And in a historic win, Kathryn Bigelow became the first female to win the director of the year.  What do you think of the awards?

It has just been announced that due to class cancellations form the the snow.  Finals week will be shifted so that we can make-up those missed classes.  This means that we will be having class Monday, May 10th.  This should not effect our final exam which will still take place Wednesday, May 12th.  I will keep you informed of other changes as they come up.

We went much deeper this evening with our discussion of mise-en-scene and reviewed for the midterm.  Yes, the midterm exam which will take place next Wednesday.  And a quick reminder, revised copies of your film reviews need to be emailed to me by midnight on Wednesday, March 17th. (more…)

Due to some (I use that term loosely) snow, we played a bit of catch up tonight and continued our discussion on cinematography.  We began looking at mise-en-scene and tried to grasp City of God. (more…)

A paper copy of your film reviews is due next Wednesday.  You only need to give me a paper copy next Wednesday.  Once it is grade and returned, you will be editing it and then resubmitting it electronically.  So please do not send me the review in electronic format yet!  I want to be able to give you a chance to edit it before it being posted here.

Well it looks like the weather is going to rob us of some class time!  We will continue what we were discussing but we will still be watching City of God next Wednesday.  Also due to the weather, your film reviews will be due next Wednesday as well.  Please keep checking the HACC website in case things change and evening class are held.
