Filmmakers Critics Relevance Today

HERE IS THE OTHER SOURCE LINK Film: Citizen Kane (Orson Wells, 1941)  https://vimeo.com/441593903  The Password: 1500 In this paper, I would like you to discuss how the ideas explored by filmmakers and film critics between the 1800s and the 1940s are relevant for film and media in the present day.   Here are a few questions to prompt your discussion. You do not need to answer all of these, just use them as a way of formulating your ideas and arguments: ·      Are these ideas from the past helpful for thinking about films and other media forms today? How so? ·      Or, has the landscape of film and media changed so much that the questions and problems dealt with in the readings are no longer relevant to consider? ·      Are the approaches taken by filmmakers studied in the class similar to approaches taken by filmmakers working today? How do filmmakers continue to explore the possibilities of their medium?   How you approach this discussion is up to you, but you are required to substantiate your ideas and arguments by referring to:   1)     One or more films screened for class 2)     One or more ideas drawn from the readings assigned in class 3)     And one or more examples are taken from a recent film (or another form of visual media). NOTE: Since there is a chance I will not be familiar with the contemporary example you choose, you must provide some context and description   FORMAT ·      5 – 6 pages double-spaced ·      All film titles must be put in italics. When you first mention a film, you must put the date of its production in parentheses. E.g. “The film Street Angels (1937) is set in the slums of Shanghai.” ·      Double-spaced, 12pt font, margins that look like this page. ·      Please NUMBER pages and include an INTERESTING title
