The
Impact of Evolving Technologies
Prepare
As you prepare to write this discussion, take
a few moments to do the following:
• Read
any required and recommended reading materials for this week, especially
Chapter 2 from your text.
• Review
the grading rubric for this discussion.
Reflect
There are many ways in which technology is
affecting the production, distribution, and appreciation of films. For example,
think of how CGI, animation, and other advances in digital technology have
changed the ways in which stories are told on film. Then, consider how the
Internet has changed the way we access, evaluate, and discuss films.
Write
According to the first letter of your last
name, respond to your designated topic.
Topic A (Last names beginning with A through
M)
Choose a film and discuss the importance of
technological advancements to its success as a mode of storytelling. How might
it have been told differently, for better or worse, without these technological
advancements?
Topic B (Last names beginning with N through
Z)
Choose a film that gained notoriety due to the
Internet and discuss how social media and other instant modes of communication
have changed the ways in which we approach, appreciate, and consume films. What
do these changes imply about the future of film distribution and audience
participation in the film’s lifespan?
Indicate Topic A or Topic B in the “Subject”
of your post. Your initial post should be at least 200 words in length. Support
your claims with examples from the required material(s) and/or other scholarly
resources, and properly cite any references.
Respond to Peers
Respond to a post by at least one classmate
who was assigned to the topic group you were not. For example, if you wrote
your initial post on Topic A, then choose a classmate who responded to Topic B.
In your reply, provide your opinion on the topic and discuss how it is similar
or different than your classmate’s. Your responses should be 125 to 150 words
each.
