A huge difficulty that English teachers face is the challenge of changing media, meaning, films as the dominant literature source now. This assignment will help us as a class explore and examine the differences between film and text. Some of the differences are innate, and important. Reading is still a worthwhile pursuit today (and so is watching films), but some students don't see a difference in watching a film and reading a text. So, we're going to hit it hard with some close examination.
Obviously this kind of exploration necessitates a multimedia presentation. We must watch the video(s) in order to examine it(/them).
This video will facilitate a comparison in the classroom of texts and film interpretations of the text. We will examine and discuss the assumptions and perceptions that were made by the film interpreters of the original text through class discussion and then I would assign a paper that the students will write individually about what they saw as differences between the texts. They then will decide, on their own, if this means that reading is obsolete, or still valuable.
STORYBOARD
1). The narration will be something like: "Why read? All the greatest books have already been turned into movies!"
and it will look something like this:
...but it'll look a lot neater, because there will be actual book covers and movie poster images.
2.) Next will be a narration saying: "One of the greatest books ever written, Pride and Prejudice, has been turned into film time and time again"
and then there will be something that looks a little like this:
3.) Then there will be a series of movie clips. I will first show the Kiera Knightly version of Pride and Prejudice, the proposal scene. Everyone loves that scene. 4.) Then I will have The Pride and Prejudice: a Latter-Day Tale version of the proposal scene.
5.) The I will have the Bride and Prejudice version of the proposal scene.
6.) Then I will have a simple screen that asks, "what are the similarities? Differences? How do these similatieis and differences affect meaning?
7.) Then the video will quote the actual text by Austen and discuss the similarities and differences, and why we think those interpretations chose to keep or change different lines, phrases, images, et cetera. There will be a non-intrusive song playing to keep it interesting.
8.) Then there will be a credit page, with music.
