Reflective Journal #2
Reflective Journal #2
The Tuesday of this week we attended a Screening & Discussion series lecture with a guest lecturer in talking to us about film festivals, how they work, how to enter, how to increase chances, etc... (I'll upload my notes to a folder).
On Wednesday we again met with Tal. In the morning the class presented the basis of their ideas and the first few bits of work they'd done towards their scripts, and we gave them feedback as a class. In the afternoon we watched "Catch me if you can" a 2002 Steven Spielberg film with a basis of a cat and mouse chase between a check fraudster (played by Leonardo DiCaprio) and a FBI fraud investigator (Tom Hanks). This film was very intriguing in terms of how it twists the roles of protagonist and antagonist in the narrative. Hanks' character plays the morally righteous character that in real life would be seen as the protagonist. However in the film his role is antagonist to DiCaprio's character the protagonist of the film. Though in reality as the criminal he would be the antagonist. I ended up enjoying the film a lot more than I had anticipated and I think this can be attributed the the complex themes of morality explored in the film.
