On this day in class, we continued our viewing of Feast, a short film revolving around a dog named Winston. Since this was our first viewing, we were mostly just watching for enjoyment. To review, a film should be watched (at least) 3 times to craft the best possible critical review.

Viewing 1: Enjoyment. Preliminary research, artists, production, expectations. Initial reactions should be recorded after viewing.

Viewing 2: Examine Meaning. Based on initial reactions, what parts do you evaluate? Analyze the development of those parts of the film, and plant seeds for paragraphs.

Viewing 3: Precision. Determine where you will look for evidence about content and theme. Specific scene help support/expand your claim. Refine analysis for specificity and clarity.

After this, each group created a big list of things that could be evaluated from this film. Not to brag or anything but my group created the largest list. We each group chose two of those topics to create topic sentences for.
