Question 4
For my final project, I focused on the pre-approved question number four; real and cinematic representations in media. The films I chose to use for my paper are in Monster, directed by Patty Jenkins and Aishah Simmons’ NO!. I wrote about how both types of films are very different, but also similar. The directors are both directing a film that they are obviously passionate about, but one of the differences is the approach the directors choose to deliver their performances. One is an example of a more “traditional” documentary and the other is more of a “Hollywood” film and how each type of film has its advantages and disadvantages and what kind of audience is exposed to each.
