In the class Film as Literature, we watched many movies and analyzed them throughout different units. These included narrative, character, mood/tone, music, color, and more. We watched a variety of movies, a spectrum of things from The Princess Bride to Shawshank Redemption. I liked this class a lot because for the most part, I was watching movies that I had never had the chance to see before, movies that I wouldn’t have seen if it weren’t for this class. I was exposed to a much more wide variety of films, and that’s a good thing. I also enjoyed getting to watch films as a class and then discuss them. It’s always interesting to see what other people think about a film, even if our opinions are different. I think my favorite assignment was the Movie Mash-Up assignment. We started by each creating titles for a pre-assigned genre of film. Then, the titles were passed to someone else in the class, and that person had to come up with characters. We switched several more times. By the end, each film had a title, characters, a plot, a cast, and a movie poster, all completed by different people. It was definitely the most fun assignment we had, aside from watching films of course. The only thing I disliked about the class was how few people were in it. Discussions are far less enjoyable when the class has about ten students on a good day, but some people are absent frequently. It’s definitely a class that’s more fun with more people. Overall, I very much enjoyed this course.
