Getting bored? How about reviewing some movies? Each week we can choose a different genre.Let’s start with the comedy genre. Go to: https://www.filmsite.org/comedyfilms.html
It will list the different types of comedy and also give the titles of some great comedies! Choose one, watch it, and then write a movie review.
Before you start, it might be helpful to read some reviews written by film critics online.This site will tell you the steps in writing a review: https://www.instructables.com/id/Writing-a-Movie-Review/
If we were having class, we would be discussing filming shots and techniques. You can see them here.: https://www.adorama.com/alc/14-basic-cinematography-techniques-for-better-cinematic-shots. See if you can recognize some of these techniques when you watch a film.
I miss you all SO much…

I sure miss seeing you. I wish were wer together watching Citizen Kane...
But, if you are getting tired of movies, how about trying this: Take a virtual field trip or tour. At least it will occupy your mind and stimulate your brains for a bit.
You can visit about any country in the world, National Parks, Zoos, animal in the wild, natural wonders, amusement parks, beaches, music venues, (nightly opera from the Met even!) art museums, NASA, aquariums, just to name a few!
Here are some sites I found:

https://www.goodhousekeeping.com/life/travel/a31784720/best-virtual-tours/
https://www.tripsavvy.com/virtual-field-trips-for-kids-3129414
------------------------
Well, keeping up in film study should be easy! Just watch some videos, but try to chose some from different eras or genres with which you are not familiar.!
Miss you all!
