Midterm Resources

Here's a copy of the Midterm Question - click HERE to download pdf file

I suggest that you re-watch the film you choose to write about for the midterm paper assignment. I advise you to watch significant scenes again, first without sound - think about analyzing shot by shot - then re-watch with sound to think about sound design (use of music, fx, v.o.). Think critically, specifically, and write in detail.

Feminist Media Center (FMC)

Locally, we are a growing, all-volunteer organization, made up of women who work in film, television and new media in Minnesota. We exist to educate and support women in these industries. In the process, we share ideas, connect with each other, and create momentum that benefits careers. We also have fun.
