Proyecto de video ensayo

Description / Descripción

As part of our seminar, you will craft an essay that critically analyzes 1-2 films related to one of our seminar topics – indigenous or Afro-descendant representation in contemporary cinema from Latin America. Unlike the traditional writing assignments in other courses, you will present this analysis as an audiovisual essay, also known as video ensayo. The video essay format allows us to write about and analyze movies using the very same audiovisual medium of film to not only say or write what we think but to show our analysis visually. By working with the very images and sounds from the films in question, the video essay opens up new possibilities of expression for our analysis. This is a guide with detailed instructions and guidelines for creating your video essay. The video essay will include a variety of scaffolded components designed to help you complete the project and reflect critically throughout the process about your under- standing of Latin American cinema, from both a personal standpoint and within a broader academic framework.
