It seemed that folks were interested in having something to guide their reading for Wednesday, so I have included the following questions to ask yourself and jot down answers to while you read the assigned Bordwell text. Please have your answers ready for class Wednesday morning:
• What are the fundamental elements of all stories, according to Bordwell?
• What is the difference between story and plot? Why is it helpful to make this distinction?
• What is the difference between narrative and narration? Could you explain the difference using a film you have seen recently?
• Name three characteristics specific to Classical Hollywood Cinema narratives (i.e., that not all narratives necessarily have) and explain using that same film you saw recently.
