Key Concepts for Chapter 8

NOTE: NEW DATE FOR QUIZ

There will be a very brief Reading Reward (quiz) on MONDAY, 3/31 on some of the key concepts from Chapter 8 of our textbook, Understanding Movies. The best way to prepare is to thoroughly read Chapter 8, completing the fill-in-the-blank handout (that you received last week) as you go, and focusing on the following terms and concepts:
  • Study the general features of these major narrative structures: classical, formalistic, realistic, and nonfictional
  • Mimesis & diegesis
  • Genre conventions
  • The classical paradigm
  • Cinema verite
  • Rites of passage
Good luck!
