Category 3. Movie Poster
For this assignment, please do a feminist analysis of a movie poster of your choice. You can scan the cover of your favorite DVD in the FMC (instructions posted on the wall, front row, station against the wall), or borrow an image from the Internet.
This means, in your reading of this images considering CONTEXT (the who, what where, why, and how), CONTENT (what the POSTER tells the story of, and the story of the film [if you've seen it]), and FORM (framing, composition, color, etc).
Please post an 800 to 1000 word analysis to this blog by NOON on Monday, June 23.
Here's an excerpt of an example:
This image is the DVD cover of Women Behind the Camera, a documentary about women cinematographers in the U.S., Canada, China, France, Germany, India, India, Iran, Mexico, Russia, and Senegal. The film's website proclaims that the film shows women behind the camera from "other countries in a way never seen before". The film's director, Alexis Krasilovsky, is a documentary filmmaker, film scholar, and professor at Cal State Northridge.
The film is really important in that it shows women behind the camera as we've never seen before...
The film's form.... think framing, composition, rhythm, pacing of editing, etc...
