Today: please turn in your Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? reviews. Look at the various Blaxploitation clips (there's an option for extra credit at the end of the post). Our final exam on Thursday will cover all marking period material (1950's/1960's/1970's, Hitchcock, film review basics, and the handout-chapter materials/history). In addition you should know the basic vocabulary of film: montage, editing, continuity editing, different types of shots, diegetic sound, styles of film, mise-en-shot, mise-en-scene, auteur, film history from origin to 1980.
By the way, film studies will continue next year, taking a look at more popular cultural films, exploitation films, and world cinema. So don't be sad that the course is ending. Go see some films!
