Day 5 Film Literacy

Do Now: What do you associate with graduation? 

Today's Learning Target:
I will be able to actively view scenes from The Graduate and explain how the director's shot choices tell the story.
I will know that I have hit the learning target when...
-I can select particular shots from the early scenes that establish setting, character, or motifs.
-I can explain how these shots communicate information to the viewer.

Agenda: 

1. French New Wave
2. Film terms
3. Viewing concerns for The Graduate
4. Exit Ticket: How does Ben deal with the traps or limitations in his life?

Small Daily Task: Complete your reflection on today's viewing. Remember to address one of the three viewing concerns and include a specific example in your response.
