Movement is at the heart of "moving pictures," and our conversation this week focuses on the various ways movie makers present movement and use it to tell stories and leave impressions. 

I've posted some examples of the kind of posting we will make this week. You'll find them in the Learning Module, "Movement." 

Choose a sequence of movement -- either movement of characters (or objects) within the frames or camera movement or both -- from the movie you watch this week and 

1. Describe it, using the vocabulary we have learned so far for shots and mise en scene; 
2. State the impact of the scene on you (this impact may be emotional, psychological, visceral -- you decide); 
3. Analyze the sequence's contribution to the whole. What does it add to the movie? 

There are many different types of scenes that contain movements that would be interesting for this posting, from the comic to the gory to the terrifying.
