Follow the attach instruction to complete the work.
Discussion, you will need to watch two films:
Moonlight (Barry Jenkins. 2016)
and a film of your choice from the provided list.
Film One:
Moonlight (Barry Jenkins. 2016)
Moonlight is a classic example of a character study. In
Moonlight, Barry Jenkins and Tarell Alvin McCraney (based on McCraney’s unpublished play), avoid a strict narrative structure by showing the evolution of Chiron, the main character, at three points in his life. Jenkins and McCraney craft the episodes to explore the film’s themes (which include masculinity and sexuality) and through Chiron’s relationships.
Film Two:
Watch one of these
Screenplay Award winning films. Discuss and compare it to
Moonlight in this week’s discussion post
