Today's class was the continuation of the movie, No Country for Old Men. As of Monday, we began watching this film and class and analyzing its usage of Mise-En-Scene. The assignment that goes along with the film, is to write down, and post in google classroom as well four forms of Mise-En-Scene that you find throughout the movie. The reasoning for this is to get familiar with the way that it effects it's narrative elements. If you missed class today, or Monday, and tomorrow (Wednesday) as well, Mr. Rivers informed us to let him know to meet with him to finish it, or to finish it at home on Netflix. Be sure to post all of your founded forms of Mise-En-Scene on google classroom by Wednesday for full credit for the assignment.
Aside from class today, I have been able to relate the movie to my own since of taste. I thought about what I like to see in movies and I began to evaluate my opinion on this movie, to decide wether or not I like it yet. So far, it is a good bad for me, so hopefully I can turn that into a good good! Other than that, analyzing the film in class for its choices of Mise-En-Scene really opened up my mind to what choices the directors have made in various films and shows that I enjoy to watch on my free time. For example, I really enjoy watching the show American Horror Story, so whenever a new episode comes on, I am constantly subconsciously thinking about the choices of Mise-En-Scene that I view in the program.
This is another great summary of our class' actions. Nice work, Mason. The extension has the right idea, but think about how you can get more specific. You don't need to include EVERYTHING that you've seen from AHS, but maybe a specific scene or image would have allowed you to REALLY EXTEND the learning instead of just mentioning it.
