A pitch movie about life doing the pandemic would be titled " Sunburst". It would tell a story about an introvert who created a website named Sunburst where people can communicate during the pandemic and how people are finding meaningful relationships from it. #cm316 #cm316 exam

There is no film history only film histories. #cm316 #Exams

[Maurice Abiagom @abiagomm]

@jossubasic I do agree with that. I was able to learn so much about history through films. I think that films can be a great way to learn history. #cm316

I learnt so much during this semester. When starting this semester, I never heard of the concept of a neorealist movie. I do now enjoy the idea of neorealism and some of its features such as the use of non professional actors. I did enjoy all neorealist movies.. #cm316

Throughout this semester I was able to enjoy this course because I knew that I would be consuming a new experience each week. My biggest take away from this course was focusing on the smaller things about cinematography and how they are utilized to convey a story. Thank U! #cm316

Throughout the semester, I became even more certain that movies form the past were much deeper in terms of expressing idea (Ikiru) and more inventive in terms of filming methods (8 1/2). It was both motivating and useful for me as someone who used to work in the field! TY #cm316

Explain the significance of the recurring appearance of a mask in the movie Black girl. #cm316

[Maurice Abiagom @abiagomm]

@RoxanneGrant715 Great question. #cm316

[Roxanne Grant @RoxanneGrant715]

Final exam question: How does Rossellini's Rome, Open City (1945) demonstrate the characteristics of Italian neorealism? Reference a specific scene or shot from the film as an example. #cm316

[Maurice Abiagom @abiagomm]

@FirdawceE I could not agree more. Technology has played a vital role in the 21st century film industry from cinematography, photography, sound editing, and filmmaking. #cm316

[Maurice Abiagom @abiagomm]

Cinematography, photography, and sound editing are the three defining characteristics of 21st century films. #cm316

@paulakunatee Very true #cm316

When we dance as a couple, we live at the moment and forget all the trials we are facing as there is nothing as powerful as love. #cm316, #poweroflove #casablanca #fear eat the soul

[Maurice Abiagom @abiagomm]

@jossubasic This is a great analysis..clearly notice it now...great work #cm316

[Maurice Abiagom @abiagomm]

@RoxanneGrant715 Great topic idea. I would surely add to one of the list possible topics that I might actually focus on...Neorealism is a such a broad topic. This article might help figure out which topic in neorealism you want. #cm316

I am thinking of focusing on the impact of film portraying politics at the time on film industry. Using the example of Rome, Open city, a neorealist movie, I would love to do research on the impact of showcasing politics at that time and in recent times. #cm316

[Maurice Abiagom @abiagomm]

@FirdawceE I could not agree more with you. #cm316

[Maurice Abiagom @abiagomm]

When I watched this movie, I saw the challenges people in the film industry goes through, especially what the director goes through to produce the best and I remember no one is perfect. We need to keep struggling to be perfect #LessonofLife #cm316

[Maurice Abiagom @abiagomm]

@jossubasic Could not agree more #cm316
