Today, please continue to work on your various projects. These include:
1. Read and note the information about Color in the essay "COLOR IN FILM" (Handout). Read and review the film clips from the blog entry below regarding color. Take notes of which films USED color and how, why, etc. Additionally, you should see how the muted or vivid color use for each film brought a sense of vitality to the scene depicted. Color is used symbolically and breaks down into two types of symbolic groups: warm and cool. You should understand why a film might wash out certain colors and keep others (i.e., how is color being used in a film, and what might it mean.)
2. Continue your research questions on the 1940's. These are due Friday.
3. Turn in your index card or note on chapter 15 (The Dark Streets of Film Noir). We will discuss this article after the announcements.
4. Complete your reading of the 1930's script. A script review is due Friday. Please make sure you read and understand the blog entry for this assignment (found below, March 18). Your reviews should be typed (and about 6-10 paragraphs...see instructions).
5. Work on editing your documentary if you have shot any of it. Try to trim your film down to about 10 minutes or less so that you have a film appropriate for upcoming film contests.
Any questions? Getting stuck? Ask.
