Essential question
What effect do moving images* have on your world?
* By moving images, we are not only referring to traditional film or video, but cinema in a broad sense, including their use in visual art as well as the so-called “expanded cinema” of communications technology, mobile phones, the Internet, “big data,” etc.
Requirements
- You must conduct research and your project must be accompanied by a bibliography with at least two academic sources not included in course readings.
- You must answer the essential question with a substantial project, but you can do so in many different ways:
- Remember, no matter what form your project takes, you must do library research (i.e. not just a Google search) and turn in a bibliography with at least two sources not included in course readings.
We will evaluate your project based on how well it demonstrates your ability to:
- Analyze moving images*, including their social and/or political context (incl. connections to critical discourse)
- Interpret and apply academic texts in forming arguments/analysis
- Analyze and form arguments with evidence
- Demonstrate understanding of filmic concepts (e.g. montage)
- Provide accurate information (all relevant names, dates, titles, etc. must be correct)
