DO NOW: Find a Symbol of Your Existence
What are your goals? What are your struggles? What drives you? Find an object that speaks to who you are.
ASSIGNMENT: Character Study
Our next video assignment is a short film with no dialogue.
Introduce a character, and communicate who they are (including a goal and an obstacle) through imagery instead of words.
CREATIVE HUNT: Meshes of the Afternoon
While we watch Maya Deren's classic 1943 experimental film, think about how she is using symbols to communicate with the audience.
Use the document in Classroom for notes on at least 3 objects that are used symbolically.
What do they represent? What makes you say that?
BREAKOUT ROOM: Return at 10:20
Everyone shares ideas of symbols they saw in the film.
Q1: What does this character want? (goal)
Q2: Why can't she have it? (obstacle)
Choose a spokesperson for your room who will share a collective answer for the two questions above.
