So anyway, I've looked over my assignment package for the class, and that's why I'm posting today-- Project 1 is this blog! We're supposed to have it done by next Thursday, but I have this morning free, and I thought I'd get it out of the way. According to the assignment, the purpose is "To record and share your thinking as your research project progresses," which sounds easy . . . and makes me suspicious. Where's the catch?
This first entry is supposed to be me discussing my film and approach choices for my research project. Since I haven't even had 24 hours to think about it yet, I can't say I'm committed to anything so far, but I do have a few ideas. One thing I've noticed lately is that there are a lot of what I think of as teenagers-save-the-world-while-adults-do-nothing movies, and, now that I think about that, it's kind of strange. Some of them are about dystopias (like The Hunger Games) and others are about hidden societies, like in the Harry Potter films. Looking at the list of films and approaches, I guess I'm thinking of genre criticism, and the movie I'd like to use is Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief. I'll check to see if that's okay.
One down, nineteen to go!
