Short Film Marathon! Film #1

As we gear up for our CAP Hollywood project I am starting a one week homework assignment called the Short Film Marathon. Each day, for the next week, I will be posting a short film on this blog with one or two corresponding questions. You will be responsible for watching each film and answering the questions that I post. At the end of our Short Film Marathon everyone will turn in their responses to the questions pertaining to each film. These questions will be due next Tuesday, March 19th, at the start of class. Please type out your responses to all the questions on one document. 

I know everyone is very busy this week with Foreign Policy Congress. It should take no more than 15 to 20 minutes each night this week to complete this homework. I will post 5 to 6 different films over the course of this week. Here's the first film:

FILM #1: Hunting

Hunting from Nic Weinfeld on Vimeo.

Question:

1. One common quality of many successful short films is that the main character often has an identifiable moment in the film where they change. This moment often forces the character to take some sort of action, or come to an important realization or insight as a result of their circumstances.
   
   Identify the scene in this film where the main character clearly changes as a result of what they are experiencing. Briefly describe the scene and identify the cinematic, dramatic, and literary aspects the filmmaker uses to make this scene so effective. 

**By the way, all documentaries must be completed and exported by this Thursday! I only had one student who came in during lunch today and two groups today after school. I hope to see more of you tomorrow and Wednesday!
