5 Things I Learned About Film
1)Mise En Scene
2)Bookends
3)Rhyming Elements in Film
4)Despite that Major Motion Pictures are backed by big corporations the films still contain controversial political messages
5)Modern films are studied for their aesthetic, and literary elements
5 Things I Learned About Politics in America
1)Machiavelli is alive and well in Washington, D.C.
2)The Bush Regime forbid the image of American Flag covered coffins
3)The restrictions our government has over the press
4)The Stop Loss Policy
5)No two people ever agree 100% politically
Whenever I watch a film now, I Mise en Scene it. As a theatre major, in my classes we had talked about political theatre, I was excited for this class to see how they compare. Some days it seems that theatre is dead and film has taken over. But I have learned that political films are an expansion of political theatre. They can be just as overt and forward in their message as theatre, or they can be just a subtle as theatre. Film has the capacity to reach many, many, many, many people across the country at the same moment. Theatre is limited to the audience. Film is not replacing theatre, it is no more important, and theatre is no more important than film, they are simply two different mediums using similar techniques. This summer I will be attending a month long theatre intensive in Massachusetts with a theatre company, Double Edge. They attempt to create community involved political theatre, I plan on taking some of the things I learned about film in this class with me, thus giving me a better understanding of the whole picture.
