As you know, you will be responsible for 7 two-page reflections. These are reflections on one film from each of the seven units we will view in class: sports, science fiction, documentaries, musicals, horror, gay film, and screwballs. Please note these are NOT reviews of the films we watch. Instead, they are reflections on particular aspects of the films (e.g. themes, acting, style, editing). They are designed to promote critical thinking about films viewed in class, so explore any aspect of the film you wish, including any lectures and discussions.
These will be collected on the last day of class. please submit them in order inside of a thin folder. Write a screening reflection one one of the films for each of the following sections.
