Tuesday 2nd December Lesson

First, we will watch the film 'Full Metal Jacket' by Stanley Kubrick.

Then, you will answer the following questions. You may, of course, refer back to your blogs.

Reception Theory:
- Was this film provocative, throwaway or intellectually demanding? Why?
- What is the preferred reading of this film?
- If you took a negotiated/oppositional reading, what was it and why?

Central Imagining
- Choose two scenes where Kubrick combines all the elements of production: Mise-en-Scene, cinematography, sound and editing, to create a 'central-imagined' response.
- Choose two scenes where you took a more 'a-central imagined' response. What extra-textual information made you feel that way?

Alignment
- Which two characters did you align with most? Why? How did the director make you feel this way?
- Name all the characters you felt allegiance to. What extra-textual features made you feel this way?
