The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (1919) Film Response

Respond to your viewing of film in a well-developed response.

In your response, be sure to comment on the following:

• the special camera effects or tricks, 
• the set design, 
• the use of expressionism as an art/set design (see chapter and information about the film from the videos), 
• the acting style, 
• the editing, 
• the narrative (story), 
• and/or the direction of the film. 

What did you notice about this film, in particular, that might be different from films that came before it? Does it remind you of films you have seen since the film came out in 1919? How does expressionism still exist in films today? How might this film have established the "horror" genre of film? Etc.

See previous posts and our Google Classroom for links and resources. You may deliver your written response on our Google Classroom page. The project is due by the end of the marking period.

Also: just so you know, student films are now posted on our Google classroom. Good work, folks!
