Fantasy Films

Description

For this project, you'll watch a fantasy film and analyze it. Choose one of the films below. When you're done watching the film, you'll write an 8-sentence paragraph on how the fantasy movie draws the audience in, even though it portrays a reality very different than our own?

Requirements

  • Watch one of the movies listed
  • Write one 8-sentence paragraph on the topic: How does the fantasy film draw the audience in, even though it portrays a reality very different than our own?

STEP 1: PICK A MOVIE

Choose one of these 4 movies to watch:


STEP 2: WATCH MOVIE + NOTES

Watch the movie you've chosen while taking notes. Specifically, on any paper, take notes on what you think makes the audience connect with the film, even with the world being so different than our own. You'll need to use 2 pieces of evidence in your paragraph, so make sure you have at least 2 good examples.

STEP 3: WRITE A PARAGRAPH

You'll want to have the template for the writing assignment. To get it, follow these steps:

  1. CLICK HERE to get to the Google Doc you'll need.
  2. Next, go to File > Make a Copy
  3. Once the new copy opens, click on the title in the upper left-hand corner and rename the file: [Your Name] Fantasy Film Paragraph
  4. Read over the directions on the top of the page.
  5. Write your paragraph in the empty boxes. This is just like what we've done in class (if you're in Digital Media).

Note: You can use dictation software if you want, like Siri (if your computer has that tool available). You could also technically do this assignment on your phone using the Google Docs app. You could use dictation that way as well.

STEP 4: SUBMIT

To submit your paragraph:

  1. Open the week's assignment in Google Classroom
  2. Click the Add or create button on the upper right-hand side
  3. Choose Google Drive
  4. Select the paragraph you've been working on. It should come up in the recent files.
  5. Lastly, click Turn in!
