Watch Akira Kurosawa’s Rashomon (1950), Gregg Araki’s The Living End (1992), or Bong Joon-ho’s The Host (2006) and assess how the filmmakers use genre and visual design. What genre as outlined by Prince does your chosen film fall into? How does it meet the genre requirements? Are there ways in which your film does NOT meet its genre? Prove your points by citing your film AND Prince. Be sure to name the director, cinematographer, visual designer, etc. when relevant.
Your reflection must be 1-2 pages long. Do not use terms like “I believe,” “personally,” “I think,” “I feel.” Do NOT use first person. Treat reflections as if they were short essays. Don’t evaluate these films (“Night of the Living Dead is a hilarious film”). Avoid a casual, chatty, gossipy tone.
Finally, your abstracts should mention in the first sentence what arguments you’ll make about your film.
Abstract, 1-2 pages, references.
