Reflection:What can be gained through analyzing film?
After completing your movie analysis, you will reflect on the analysis process and how you have learned to more thoroughly analyze film as well as how rigorous study of film enhances your development as a student and thinker. In this 300- to 600-word reflection, review your initial post from the “Post Your Introduction” discussion in Week One, and consider how your ability to analyze movies has changed or grown. Append your reflection to the analysis portion of your paper and submit as one document. Your reflection should be personal and exploratory in nature.
Address the following questions in your reflection:
· What can be gained through analyzing film?
· How has this changed the way you view movies?
· How are you able to use film theory and criticism to find and interpret meaning in movies?
· In what ways has this course changed your understanding of how movies are related to society?
· What skills have you developed during this course, and how might those skills be applied to your major, profession, and/or life?
