Web Resources for Film Studies

I've found quite a few and list them below. Please share any links you may have the same way as me—as a post rather than a comment so you may use the "Link" feature in the posting box. You might want to check on the links you find at other sites to expand your search. Other topics you might search for are good sites on "storyboarding" or "scriptwriting" etc. Good luck and see you on February 2.

Homework for the Holidays! A Comment on Citizen Kane

When you heard that Citizen Kane is considered the “best film ever made,” what did you expect? Give some detail about what you consider important in a good film (in a general sense for all films you decide to view).

Now that you have seen the film (twice or nearly twice), do you agree with the critics that this is the best film? Some argue that the the film is “as empty and heartless as its central character.” Do you agree or disagree?

Write your thoughts at the blog. Be sure to complete the work before coming to class on January 5, 2012.
