THR334 Film and Movies @ film.vtheatre.net has "part 3. Theory", which became a showcase for "Into the Wild" movie.

Movies as History/Culture? 2007 Movie (Alska related).

There is "part 4. Media" page [ 4 ], made for Monaco textbook.

http://film.vtheatre.net/3/0.html -- four lessons for Case Stury (mostly).

There is no subdirectory and pages for part 4 -- http://film.vtheatre.net/4.html

* New navigation/guide -- vid/pix services, such as http://picasaweb.google.com/anatoly.antohin : Film, Cinema albums + masters (Bergman, Tarkovsky, Fellini). To work on!

My web-year is over, but web questions not...

How to make my pages user-friendly -- ? Since it is not for myself or my live students anymore.

Not a project, but a concept thought.

It was the movies that helped the Americans visualize their "American Dream" and saved them from the Great Depression. The idea to give Russians a similar dream is behind the plans...

Film Class : Style
Topic: classes

new page -- http://filmplus.org/style.html

ch. 4 - Bordwell and ...

Film Form = Narrative (part II)

but Film Style (part III)

Shot : mise-en-scene

ch. 5 Shot : Cinematorgaphy

6. Editing (Montage?)

7. Sound ...

http://film.vtheatre.net/doc/strawberries.html

use Bergman' shots to explain -- composition (visual ... and dynamic)

Bergman's use of sound --

Does every film have/should(?) its own style? It has its own identity.

From The Wild Strawberries to 8.5 -- http://film.vtheatre.net/doc/8.5.html

Subjective (chronotope) narrative is related to hero/character's POV.

Citizen Kane (mise and camera) -- compare with Bergman's.

Start with http://film.vtheatre.net/doc/godfather.html

Film class and my webpages
Topic: classes

I thought that one page (Bergman, Tarkovsky, etc.) would be enough... But "what/which" "Bergman"?

... and I have to break "it" into topics, subjects, issues, themes !

New directory, directories?

Bergman. Title(s) -- Wild Strawberries -- what angle? Craft, Art, Theory?

And how to teach it -- Analysis, Directing ...

This process is visible at http://film.vtheatre.net

Subdirectories : I * II * III [Craft : Movies * Art : Film * Theory : Film-Philosophy]

+ doc files (docments) = titles, mostly.

forms (another directory) ... and now VIDEO !

I try to use institutional/comercial services : amazon, google, questia (lists and listing, references, biblio, books) and web 2.0 -- for linking, and etc.

webmaster, I have no time for real webpages.
