Students Can Not Analyze the Same Film

Once a film has been selected by a student for analysis, no other student may select the film for the same type of analysis. Therefore, you need to follow the following guidelines once you select a film.

• Once you select a film for analysis, you must list the name of the film in the appropriate BlackBoard forum. For example, if you want to analyze Our Time is Up in terms of movement, you would post your choice in the movement section.

• The subject of your posting must be the exact title of the film as listed in You Tube and, in parentheses, the focus of your analysis.

• If the name of your film begins with “A, ” “An” or “The,” you should list the article at the end. For example, The Window would be listed as “Window, The."

• The message of your posting only needs to be the name of the film. However, the name must be hot linked to the You Tube page on which the film is found.

Clarification: If one of your colleagues selects 10 Minutes to edit in terms of mise en scene, you may not also analyze it in terms of mise en scene. However, you could select to analyze it in terms of photography, movement, or any of the other nine criteria--unless someone else requests it first.

If you do not follow these rules, your posting will be deleted and it will be possible for someone else to select your film before you have a chance to repost.
