As we’ve discussed in class you’ll be writing analytic film essays. There are quite a few options, although your essay must only focus on two films. In other words, this is similar to a comparative essay. The idea however is that you are focusing on one character, element, device, technique, etc.
These are some possible topics:
- compare the use of vertical angles in Orson Welle’s Macbeth with Alfred Hitchcock’s Psycho
- describe how the act of murder and blood depicted differ in Roman Polanksi’s Macbeth and Alfred Hitchcock’s Psycho
- explain the use of the color red in MacBeth (2006) and Macbeth (2010)
- contrast the horizontal angles in Akira Kurosawa's Throne of Blood and Orson Welle's Macbeth
- choose any two versions of Macbeth and focus on the scenes or lines cut; explain how it is part of their overall interpretation of the play
