REVIEW FOR ESSAY QUESTIONS There will be two essay questions, each worth 30 points. You will be expected to answer with an attention to detail and specific examples, usually at least three, while avoiding generalizations and empty rhetoric (sometimes referred to as B.S.) ESSAY QUESTION ONE: The first essay will focus on your choice of one of the films we have seen since the last test. These include Citizen Kane, The Searchers, Vertigo, On the Waterfront, and Nothing But A Man.

EMC/JOUR 3000 Fall 2011 TEST THREE REVIEW General areas for consideration (You will pick only ONE!) Orson Welles and Citizen Kane - Groundbreaking techniques, multiple perspectives and narrative privilege John Ford and The Searchers - unsympathetic character traits, impact of locations on staging and photography Alfred Hitchcock and Vertigo - Point-ofview and perspective and narrative privilege, the differences between the first half and the second half of the film, irony and reversal and recognition, visual and aural and editing techniques. Elis Kazan and On the Waterfront - Reflections of the political and social attitudes of its makers, the impact of its photographic style. Nothing But A Man - Duffs family and its impact on his decisions and circumstances, the impact of its photographic style. Acting styles in any two films. ESSAY QUESTION TWO: You will be asked to address three specific areas of considerations relating to the short film Apricot, directed by Ben Briand. It can be viewed at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hIV-TjNEEVc and will be shown at the beginning of the test session. Feel free to view it as many times as you like prior to the test. You will be asked to address techniques that create mood in the restaurant scene, and techniques that connect and separate the characters to/from each other and the environment. You can consider, lenses, focus, framing, pacing, sound, lighting, editing and performance. You will also be asked to address techniques that differentiate the restaurant scene from the memory flashbacks, and that connect the restaurant scene and the memory flashbacks. And you will be expected to speculate on the actual relationship of the characters to each other and support your opinion. BEST OF LUCK. REMEMBER FORTUNE FAVORS THE PREPARED.
