Continuing Film as Literature online - an email-based approach

You may have seen on the website that all U3A classes have now been cancelled.  This related mainly to classes where people are together.  I have checked with Dorothy and she has agreed that on-line classes can go ahead where an approach can be worked out.  I would like to try the idea that I shared with you a few days ago.  And to make this easier, I am asking your permission to share your email address with the rest of the class.  If I do not hear from you, I will assume that you agree to this.
 
The process as I see it will be as follows:

• Watch a film before 8 April (our scheduled class time).  This can be any film of your choice, from any source available to you
• On 8 April (our scheduled class time) write some comments on the film to share with the class.
• Send your comments to the whole of the class using an email list that I will provide in my next email.

 
To help you focus your comments, you could use the following ideas:

• What genre (type of film – comedy, drama, animated, science fiction etc)
• Provide a brief idea of what the film was about (2-3 sentences)
• What did you like about the film – performances, music, cinematography, etc
• What did you not like about the film – language, weak performances etc
• Who do you think would like the film – children, adults etc
• Give the film a rating out of 5

 
Remember if you do not want me to share your email address with the rest of the class, you need to get back to me as a matter of urgency.  I will send out the complete list of class members with email addresses by Tuesday.   I hope that you will all participate in this process.  It gives us a chance to keep in touch with the rest of the class.  This is particularly important as we find ourselves more isolated over the coming weeks.
