Week 5 student assignment
You are the student
By Saturday, 11:59pm, please respond to two of your discussion group’s questions. As a good student, you will want to engage the question in a way that demonstrates your knowledge of the course materials, but also your ability to think critically and creatively. You can answer the question in a straight-forward fashion, you can expand on it, you can make connections, you can even critically analyze the question. Since you will not (necessarily) be graded on answering the question right or wrong, you have some liberty here to develop this response in critical and creative ways. For more detailed suggestions and expectations for what makes a good response, see the attached rubric. (no more than 300 words per response)
I am so sorry that you should find those movie and watch by yourself. Fortunately, these movies are famous and easy to find online.
For the readings I already upload.
Please follow the guideline very carefully and write correctly.
If you have any question please ask me.
Please write as better as possible.
Thank you!
group’s questions：
Given that post production now offers the potential to manipulate images in infinite ways, do you think that the influx of digital technology into cinema, especially CGI, has taken some of the artistry out of filmmaking?
In Week 5, we learned about digital technology in the film industry in depth. Especially, CGI has made it able to bring the idea that an image does not necessarily have to exist. Many blockbuster films such as Kingkong have used this technology animating the moments in the film. As we looked at the most successful film in South Korea, the film The Host (Bong Joon Ho 2006) which also has used CGI technology, do you think the usage of CGI technology has impacted its success like other Hollywood blockbusters?
