King of the Movies


Let's talk Kong...























Welcome to the Movies



Welcome to film studies. To start things off, we're going to look at a few short films. 

Your task is to watch the three following films and post AT LEAST ONE  response in the "comment section" below of each. Be sure to include your name to get credit for your contribution. 


What are we looking for in our online discussions? Observations, questions, opinions, interpretations, etc. The more specific, the better. This means you should respond to SPECIFIC moments of the films as well as to the films overall. Feel free to respond to your peers. Remember, our goal here is to have robust, thoughtful, challenging discussions. Also keep in mind that this online component is part of the CLASS EXPECTATIONS. That means that everything you enter on this blog needs to be CLASS APPROPRIATE. The more you contribute, the better your grade. The more thoughtful and curious your contributions, the better your grade.

We're probably not going to have as much formal homework as some of your other classes, so your online participation will certainly impact your grade. Plus, it's fun and interesting and it's about movies. And that's why we're all in the class, right?


Okay. Have at it...
