I am in the process of gaining full access to the film. For this blog post, I used a scene off of YouTube. All timestamps used in the table below correlate with the timestamps in the YouTube clip.

This blog looks really good for the first blog. There is nothing I have to comment on it. I guess we will get the hang of this more as we do more and we will have more comments
ReplyDeleteAwesome start! It would be a bit hard to analyze the film if you don't have it so I understand, but that would be your next step. What do all of these pieces tell us? Why is the foreground blurred out with the phone basically being in our face and is Oscar the main focus here? Those are some questions to consider when analyzing the pieces. As for the overall argument, you'll need to see how this all fits together. I think you have it basically as you can definitely talk about all of this discusses police brutality and maybe even relate it back to society today.
ReplyDeleteThis is a really good graph with a lot of detail, i would state in your thesis why you picked this and what you felt helped you have a better experience watching the film and why those shots made you feel that way. I would also write down what is actually happening in the film since all that we would have is screenshot and when you present we will just have words.
ReplyDeleteI think you have a good start going with this chart. Maybe you could expand on the different view points of the camera shots next.
ReplyDeleteI love that before I have even read anything, I can already see the exact areas you are trying to point out to us in the screen shot, and what you will be going into in the chart. I have not seen this film but now I would really like to, but with that being said, for your larger thesis you could tell the audience, us, what has happened before this moment and about the film as a whole. You have done a great job at analyzing but what does this make us feel in this moment and in this moment with the film as a whole. I feel that this is an incredibly strong scene that makes us as an audience feel a lot because of the world we are living in today and you could compare it to how things were in 2013 when this was released, as well as what was going on in that year and how this made audiences feel.
ReplyDeleteThis looks really good. I love how organized your chart is. I think you have an excellent start, and you are doing a much better than I am at picking up everything. I haven't seen the movie, so I'm not sure I have any advice on the over all thesis.
