Topic: Film Outline and Critical Analysis
This week you will be completing an “Outline and Critical Analysis” of a play as illustrated at the end of chapter six in your text. Find a local performance to attend, but if that is not possible, choose a significant play that has been filmed that is available through Youtube or Netflix or some other like source. Do not watch a film adaptation of a play.
Watch a filmed performance of a play. You want the actual text of the play performed, not an abridged and rearranged version.
For a few examples, navigate to the Additional Resources section of this course.
As with any art critique, you need to find a subject worth the critique. Do not go to see something or choose to watch something likely to be staged or performed poorly. Choose something that will redeem your time. If you aren’t sure, contact your professor.
Along with your outline and critique, be sure to indicate who performed the play and where and when you saw it.
