Unit 26 Film Analysis

In this unit you will base your work on a single film of your own choice, with frequent reference to other similar and/or dissimilar films for comparison. One task will focus on a detailed textual analysis of a scene, taking note of its placement in the film, within the genre and beyond, as well as how initial distribution and audience context shaped meaning and reception. This will be a video commentary. The next task is a detailed (and visually diverse) collation of research notes on the production context of the film, as well as the marketing materials of the film at its time of release (or earlier), to illustrate the role of the producers in relation to the temporal, cultural demographics. Following this, you will be tasked with REMARKETING the film for a different time, place or demographic, showing how well you understood your research notes by applying the knowledge to a different production and audience context in a creative way. 

UNIT DEADLINES: Task 1: April 2, Task 2: April 20, Task 3: May 7
