Assignment title: Information
You must use the knowledge you have gained in the course so far to compare two of the films we are studying in class. You must answer the question "Do these films have different aims, despite their shared temporal or national origins?" Both aims and origins are open to interpretation, since we are looking at films that often only have a temporal connection. This is a deliberately open question that is designed to allow you to focus on whichever aspects of the subject interest you most. If you would like help with narrowing your focus, feel free to ask. Please submit this assignment in class on printed paper. Choosing your subject For this assignment, you must choose two films. • Film number 1 must be one of the first six films viewed for classSunrise: A Song of Two Humans (F.W.
