CL: 4/7

First Person Free Write:

Before watching a movie it is important to avoid doing as much research as possible, don’t want to get any spoilers. While I watch a film or movie it is good to write down a word or phrase that stands out so that I can recall scenes or story information that catch my attention and that I deem important. After it is over and you watched it through it is good to go back to parts to get a better understanding. It is good to think of the plot, theme, tone, the characters, costume, the editing and so much more. When trying to read scenes from a movie and connecting it to the concept of discourse communities can be tricky but making sure that the scenes match up with the discourse community it is portraying to be. The people creating the movie have their own discourse community to create this common goal of what they want the movie or film to turn out or be portrayed as. This is how Griffith made it possible to compose the scenes into the concepts he wanted. Coming together as a discourse community and making the scenes up and how it all comes together is what it is all about.
