Not everyone has to go to college, but if you're planning to and didn't so well on our last test, here's an extra credit option for the first quarter:Choose an Alfred Hitchcock film you've never seen before, watch it, and submit your answers to the questions below on Turnitin.com. Here are the DUE dates:
November 9: Submit the title and year of your film to MrD at the beginning of class. Make sure it's a film you're able see; there are no substitutions.
November 14: Submit your typed and double-spaced responses to the questions below to Turnitin.com by 3 p.m.
Missing either of these deadlines makes you ineligible for extra credit. Also, make sure you do your own work and that what you submit is 100% original. This is not a collaborative effort; do NOT show your work to anyone else, compare notes, or use the work of another "as a reference."
EXTRA CREDIT QUESTIONS
1) What's the title and year of your film? (Remember to underline film titles!)
2) Hitchcock's films often revolve around murder, betrayal, love, and a man/woman on the run. Which of these elements apply to your film? Give specific examples.
3) Hitchcock saw himself as the Master of Suspense. What's suspenseful about your film and how, through sound or visuals, does he create suspense? Be specific.
4) Define "voyeurism." What moments of voyeurism are in your film: does a character spy on or watch the movements of another character? Does Hitchcock use subjective POV to turn us, the viewers, into voyeurs?! Give specific details.
5) How does your film compare to Psycho? How is it similar or different visually or in terms of its themes. Again, give specifics and develop your ideas.
