Independent Study 1

Content:

1. I watched movies most Tuesdays, Thursdays, and weekends starting Dec. 18.


2.

3. LIA

Literal:
I, Ayaa Abouelhouda, affirm that I completed my independent component which represents 30 hours of work.
For my independent task, I watched academy award winning films from the 30's to the 60's (Hollywoods Golden Era) and wrote analysis', typically 250-400 words, on why I thought they deserved, or didn't, the win.


Interpretive: 
This is definitely deserving of credit because while the watching the films part wasn't much work, writing an analysis for each one helped me better understand a film.


Applied:
I believe this  was essential to helping me understand and answer my EQ because I got to learn and see how film has changed over the process of the decades, with the advancement of camera and film technologies as well as the perfection of certain techniques. You also notice that over the years, films are nominated for best picture for different things, dependent on the era.
