How to watch a Film (at least while in this class)
Umm…Keller, I’m pretty sure I already know how to watch a film Yes you do, but I’m trying to teach you to watch it more critically. In order to do that, for a couple days this week you’ll be taking notes (starting on page 15 and moving on to the subsequent pages for each new film) while we watch the beginning of two or three films.

Your notes should look like… Characters and Plot Camera Techniques Music, Editing, etc… Bullet point Etc…
