Analysis

This artifact fulfills this outcome by applying my understanding of the different aspects of Film Theory. I watched a foreign film and examine the distinctive cultural and artistic choices made by the director. I analyzed the film’s different techniques and methods of filmmaking.

Reflection

This paper was a joy to accomplish because of the film I was watching. I picked Raise the Red Lantern because I was unfamiliar with the Chinese culture and the Director. I found myself engrossed in the plot and I fell in love the main character, Songlian. Every shot of the film has a purpose, and it gave the film a sense of discomfort and eeriness. I feel like this paper has launched me into a more analytical and observant mindset when watching films and will help me apple this skill in the real world.
