COMM 270 ODU Moonlight Family Identity and Masculinity Discussion

Overview

“Jenkins’ film [Moonlight] is confident in every single aspect of the way that a critic can use that word. Every performance, every shot choice, every piece of music, every lived-in setting—it’s one of those rare movies that just doesn’t take a wrong step, and climaxes in a scene not of CGI or twists but of dialogue that is one of the best single scenes in years.” (Brian Tallerico, “Moonlight”Links to an external site.)

Every creative choice in Moonlight has an intention.

Take a still/screen picture of a scene/moment of Moonlight (2016) that better expresses this cinematic experience for you, visually summarizing what the film is about.

Add the image to your post.

Explain this image you posted addressing:

Creative choices (such as story, characters, settings and props, costumes, composition, editing, sound and music)

Social, political, economic and/or artistic contexts (informing the creative choices you indicated)

In this assignment, the students ought to develop on the topic proposed showing knowledge and familiarity with the course materials, the ability to discuss such content, and demonstrating an appreciation of the film experience.
