This week's lesson will begin to refine the focus of our textual analysis onto Representation. We will be looking at the ways Alfonso Cuaron establishes character, setting and location in the opening sequence of his suberb film Children of Men.
In addition we will be looking at his distinctive use of long, single take shots in the film as documented in the DVD extras, and exploring the contrast between the fast-cutting sequences in The Ring and the long single takes in Children of Men. You can watch the featurette on the making of Children of Men here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EjNk-nxHjfM
Don't forget your analysis of the opening sequence of The Ring which is due in on Friday.
