Meanwhile..back at the chalkface... I'm looking at my students thinking maybe some should be doing Scholarship now. Has anyone else had the same epiphany???
Activities for Brainstorm (Large sheet of paper with separate headings)
Style
- hybridisation, use of other art forms (art, photography, avatars, synthespians, animation, anime, marionettes, claymation, CGI); the death of the hero/cowboy; montage, auteur, dialogue - reduction over time? ; black & white, mise-en-scene, impressionistic, representation of women
Context
- marketing, industry, growth of cinema - changing venues/studio ownership to video to dvd to laptop; Bollywood, independents, internet, changes in audience (e.g. family 30s/40s), 16 - 24 (niche/crossover etc)
Genre (Development & Divergence)
- follow a 'path' e.g. dystopian sci fi - 'Metropolis' to 'The Island'; star system; globalisation - web based/digitalisation (DVD); hybridisation (parody); remakes - cross media e.g. Bewitched, Sin City
Technical Developments
