To prepare you for the development of your final project and synthesize ideas from this week's module, you will complete a short writing assignment. 

Prompt

How does Agnes Varda foreground the subjective camera in Cleo from 5 to 7 to communicate a specific message?

Form an argument that answers this question and identifies the message that Varda is communicating.

Develop your argument using specific scenes from the film as supporting examples.

Consider how Varda uses specific cinematic techniques (camera movement, shot composition, framing of performers etc.) to foreground subjectivity and how she uses editing and/or voice to communicate a message.

This prompt connects Cleo from 5 to 7 with two concepts: camera and voice and language to help you connect concepts from our course with a single film.

Your response should be at least 2-3 paragraphs in MLA formatting. 

Tips for Success

• Begin by taking note of visual details that relate to the prompt during your viewing of Cleo from 5 to 7. 
• Compose a short 1-2 sentence argument at the end of your first paragraph that states your original analysis of the scenes and the supporting claims for your thesis statement. It should also answer the question posed in the prompt. 
• Use terms from the Yale Film Analysis Guide Links to an external site. to describe cinematic technique. 
• Make sure that you focus your analysis on the film's form (specific cinematic technique) rather than content (dialogue, story etc.). 

I look forward to reading your analyses! You may review the rubric for this assignment through the "show rubric" option.
