Watch Akira Kurosawa’s?Rashomon?(1950), Stanley Donen’s?Singin’ in the Rain?(1952),?or?Bong Joon-ho’s?The Host?(2006). Select two scenes/sequences. Assess how the filmmakers use genre and visual design. These questions should help:
1. What genre as outlined by Prince does your chosen film fall into, and?how?does it meet the genre requirements? It’s okay if your film meets more than one genre. Be creative!
2.? Are there ways in which your film does NOT meet its genre?
Prove your points by citing your film AND Prince. Be sure to name the personnel (director, cinematographer, visual designer, etc.) when relevant.
