1) Classical Hollywood narrative form dictated an active central role for male characters and a passive role for women who were regarded as subordinate figures and objects for visual pleasure. In her highly influential essay “Visual Pleasure and Narrative Cinema,” Laura Mulvey examines this dynamic that has taught us “how to look.” Apply this framework to the films on our syllabus to analyze the role of women. Provide examples of the Freudian psychoanalytic concepts of voyeurism, fetishization and narcissism to show the ways in which the viewer is asked to identify with the male gaze and take pleasure in women as objects. Be specific in exploring how mise-en-scene (the shots, lighting, costumes and make-up) helps to shape our perception of the female characters on screen.2)More than any other film, Citizen Kane shifted the visual schema of 1920’s American cinema and demonstrated how a filmmaker can use the moving image to marry FORM and CONTENT. Analyze how Orson Welles expressed the theme of his movie through mise-en-scene, specifically through his use of deep focus style and “editing within the shot.”
