Black girl movie

 For each critical essay , select one of the proposed subjects and write a coherent mini-essay (approximately 1000 words). Grammar and spelling should be perfect. Written expression should be clear and consistent with educated prose, crafted in a relatively “high” register (no slang). Do not use outside sources. This exercise is designed to allow you to demonstrate your own interpretations and mastery of the material. You may use the course readings, which should be referenced parenthetically (Bleich, 7). If you quote definitions of film terms directly, include URL in parenthesis). To refer to specific moments in the films, a brief description is necessary. You may also reference time codes in parenthesis (i.e.; 1:12); this may allow you to refer to shots or sequences more easily. Your critical essay should be organized, and should feature: 1. a brief introduction in which you state a thesis or argument (and this may be a question of reiterating the prompt) 2. an interpretation in function of the question (in other words, a response to the question), based on your analysis of specific visual aspects of the film (and perhaps on written material as well, this depends on the prompt) 3. a brief concluding paragraph that summarizes your commentary and opens onto future questions and offers speculative insights 1. Black Girl: How is the concept of the civilizing mission—as articulated by Jules Ferry’s speech before the Chamber of Deputies (1884)–rendered visible in Black Girl? In what ways are the three facets of Ferry’s colonial justification underscored and critiqued with visual/filmic and narrative techniques? Your response should be grounded in 2 formal film terms (examples include: Costuming; shot; scene/sequence; genre).
