This morning, please turn in your film scripts. In the lab, read the article handouts and study for the upcoming exam on Friday. We may leave the lab a little early today if folks aren't using the time to study for the upcoming exam...we'll need the time to examine Blaxploitation and trends in the 1960's. See posts below.
Finally, for your final project, you have an option.
A. Collaboratively, work on an original film, using a film script (perhaps one that you have written), and create an original short film. All members of the team should work together in a significant manner to see the completion of the film project. (i.e., each member of the team should have a well-defined role to complete in the making of the film...)
B. Choose a director from the American New Wave, research, watch 1 film from this director and at least 3 clips from other films directed by the auteur. Use this information to create a short film documentary about the director & his/her impact on film.
