So this time as opposed to using the texts we have read this quarter to speak about other people’s films I would like you to speak about your own Final Project in terms that we have broached this Quarter. How have you understood time through your project if that applies, how has editing allowed you to speak truth to power if that applies, tell me about your mis-en-scene, your sound, the formal disruption of your project, how Adam Curtis’ thoughts on propaganda informed your choices, how has Maya Deren, Erykah Badu or Storyboard P inspired your understanding of the body in your film, Stan Brakhage or Luis Bunuel, Carmen Miranda or Orson Welles, let me know how your work was formed.
Feel free to use examples from all works read or seen. HOWEVER this is an attempt to have you make an argument. Merely stating that you were inspired or influenced isn’t enough. I need to hear justifications, the whys and hows of your process.
Successes and failures, choices explained, changes understood. Quotes and references properly annotated.
Your 1000 word piece should include a link to your video and at least two or three quotes from the texts.
