University Of California Los Angeles Midnight Cowboy Film Discussion

You are asked to write two-paragraph original post about the film. 

One paragraph should focus on narrative (specific aspect(s) of the plot, characters, relationships, setting, etc.)

One paragraph should focus on film technique (lighting, costume, camera angles, mise-en-scene, music, etc.).

• For the narrative post you do not need to write a summary of the entire film. Assume your peers know the film and instead talk about specific aspects of the story, perhaps considering how it engages with our course theme of cultures of poverty.

For the film technique paragraph, you are expected to use the film terminology you learned in the last module to describe and analyze specific aspects of filmmaking that stood out to you in the film. Again, use specific, concrete examples, referring to specific shots/scenes whenever possible.
