Directions

  1. For this assignment, you will need to choose a topic or person from any of the various eras, movements or decades that we’ve discussed this semester and do a presentation on them using any media format you choose. (IM CHOOSING THE MOVIE PSYCHO-   Why was this movie important to hollywood? What was the feeling of it, the colors, techniques, theme, director, style, music, anything!  What was special about Alfred Hitchcock and this film?
  2. The subject matter doesn’t have to be limited to an actor, director or filmmaker, but  the topic of your presentation could be on the inventions of any of the equipment, editing or filming techniques that you’ve learned about.  Basically, you can pick an area to cover and do your presentation on that.  The point is that you take a deeper dive into the subject by exploring information about it that may not have been  covered in this course.  It does have to be something that was included in either the textbook, a movie, lecture or discussion that we’ve had.
  3. Once you choose your area of interest, your project should be created in some type of media format. make it a powerpoint presentation. The possibilities are limitless.  You can be as creative as you’d like.  As long as you are presenting your insights, take-aways and interesting information about the subject matter in a thoughtful, thorough way.  And, if it’s entertaining, even better!  
  4. Tip: Think of this project/presentation as a way to educate your fellow classmates on a topic or subject matter that you have chose to investigate further and then present your findings in a method that is relevant for today’s times.
