Te test is due in D2L one week from now. For those of you who did not get a pass on the architecture section please go to D2L for instructions.

Part One: 4-5 Pages, typed, double spaced. For this section I want you to analyze a movie of your choice. Choose your own example. Be sure to pick something that you like or maybe something that you have seen a few times. Please provide me with information such as Title, Director and Year.

For the Movie you will want to answer these two questions:

1. Does your example follow the dramatic progression of Exposition, Complication and Dénouement? Be careful not to simply retell the story, analyze the story. How is it constructed, what are its parts? Is there a climactic moment? When?

2. Next analyze your film using the tools we covered in the visual arts section of the class. Can you discuss composition, color and focus? I would recommend picking a very visually compelling (i.e., you can’t take your eyes off it) scene to analyze.

    Perrault Cinderella

    Folklore, modern media, and historical events within the western world have shown us time and time again that women are meant to be the fairer and weaker of the two sexes; while reiterating the idea that men are strong, valiant, and ultimately the saviors of all women. This notion has been used to fortify the difference between the two genders, asserting the claim that women cannot save themselves or each other, and can only find their “happily ever after” with the help of a man. Perrault’s “Cinderella: or The Glass Slipper,” is the story of a mistreated, but kindhearted, girl who eventually marries a prince and goes on to live happily ever after. Within Perrault’s “Cinderella,” women are illustrated as powerful, and are the sole characters that drive the plot. While the male characters within the story remain flat and generally unimportant, therefore challenging the gender dichotomy that has depicted women as demure, and men as being critical in the lives of women.…

    On the surface Conte is about Cinderella showing readers a glimpse of her life after her childhood tale ends. Beneath the surface the poem addresses the central question; “the poem turns out to be a letter, to who do you think it was written?” The poem Conte is written for readers who are basically in the same situation and the ways to overcome it. This question can also be answered in setting, tone, and characters. The setting of Conte is in 1881 at a palace possibly.
