Defining Kubric's Style

In a thoughtful, thorough, multi-paragraph essay, perform the following task:

Define Stanley Kubrick's style.

Consider the following when constructing your response:
  • Your notes - cinematography, editing, sound, and mis-en-scene (everything...and that's a lot)
  • The images collected below from the film
  • Any other Kubrick films you might have seen on your own (for a list of his films, click here)
  • Check out clips of Kubrick's films online (Youtube, etc.)
Your essay won't be due until the Thursday after break, so you can either work on it over break if you have time or work on it the four days we have back at school. Your choice. If you have any questions, please let me know.
