Points to reflect on in this paper: -Introduction Paragraph: Tell me what you will be discussing and covering in this paper.
What do you think Malick’s THEME (artistic intention/meaning) was with this film? Describe his visual style and use non-linear storytelling (as in, what story lines, time/place did he intercut in this film?)
Define the Kuleshov Effect as discussed in Chapter 5 of the Book. Support your thoughts on Malick’s theme/intention by discussing three uses of the Kuleshov Effect in shots or sequences in his film. What was in the juxtaposed shots that lead you to derive such a theme/intention?
What was the most impactful sequence of shots, in your opinion? Why did that jump out to you as an audience member—and how might you approach shot sequencing differently in your own projects? -Conclusion Paragraph: Highlight what you covered and discussed in this paper, and any personal conclusion on the paper’s topic and class lecture for the week. -Citations
