Film Festival Project
Create a 700- to 1,050-word proposal for a themed film festival. First, select your theme. The theme could be anything from a specific genre like the western, to a topic like LGBTQ representations, to a specific time period, and everything in between. Answer the following questions in your proposal: (USE THE GENRE WESTERN)
- Why did you select this theme? Be sure to indicate its importance to you.
- Identify three films that will serve as the main event for the festival. How does each film relate to the theme? Consider the following elements in the films you selected:
- Cinematography
- Sound and music
- Editing
- Narrative
- Genres
- Film theory
- Instead of providing the general plot summary, discuss how specific scenes from each film relate to the theme you selected.
