Here's how we'll start: while we're studying Billy Wilder's Double Indemnity in class as the quintessential Film Noir, you're exploring a genre film of your own choice.
STEP 1: Choose a genre - Horror, Romantic Comedy, Western, Gangster/Crime Drama, Documentary, Science Fiction, Thriller, etc.
STEP 2: Choose three (3) films from that genre made before 1992.
STEP 3: By 9 p.m. on Thursday, March 25, leave a blog comment on this post that describes your chosen genre, the 3 films (with titles and years they were released) you're considering from that genre, and several of that genre's conventions (essentially what you might expect from those films based on their genre)
STEP 4: By Monday, April 12, view one (1) of those genre films on your own and submit your completed handouts that can be found in the post above this one.
After Spring Break we'll begin a research project based on your genre film!
