As we move forward with beginning to look at the film form ("Formal Analysis"), it's important to be familiar with the form itself. We need a base shared language from which to start. That's where "Film Terms You Should Know" comes into play.
This will be quizzed next week. But before we can really dive into watching films, we have to go through and learn these terms. I've created a slide show to go along with this list, and that is what we will be going over the next couple of days.

Film Analysis Day One!

Welcome to Film Analysis with Mr. Bujold! My hope is that you come out of this class with a deeper understanding of the film form, and the ability to look at films with a more critical eye. This blog will serve as a place for you to get handouts, find links to fun things, and get the daily agenda. Go to the "Units/Handouts" tab to download any documents I hand out in class.
Today's Agenda:
- Fill out "Get to know you" sheet
- Go over the expectations/syllabus/permission slip
- Accessing prior knowledge: What do you know about the technical aspects of film?
- Class Brainstorm
- What are the qualities of a "great" movie?
- What are some of your favorite movies?
- If there is time: "Looking at Movies" DVD-"Film Analysis" (15 minutes)
