As you explore module 10, you’ll continue to get deeper into the craft crew who bring films to life. You’ll find several interviews, video engagements, a documentary exploring an abandoned nuclear power plant turned under water studio, you’ll have an opportunity to submit a film review, and a discussion board to engage. You’re just a few weeks away from your deadline for your semester project as well, so I encourage you to stay on target.
I will have optional Zoom meetings each Thursday at 6 PM for anyone interested. Just let me know in advance and I’ll log on. You can also email me to secure a one on one at any point to cover any topics we’re covering, or to dive into your semester project at a deeper level.
Here’s a module overview for this week:
Coming Attractions:
- Due March 22 – Dialogue/Discussion Board: Explore readings & topics for this chapter, and respond to writing prompt.
- Due March 23 – Blog/Podcast/Video Review Assignment:
Option 1: Submit a review on science fiction, superhero or epic film
Option 2: Explore and review an “Indie” film or International films
You should pay special attention into any visual effects or scenic interactions that make the film “epic” or sci-fi, fantasy or disaster-related.
You should also examine costume design, production design, and location choices.
Submit on your blog (400 -1500 words) or your video/podcasting platforms (four-six minutes).
Follow the guidelines here.
Email or call me if you have questions or concerns.
For this week, that’s a wrap.
