3. RESEARCH "SPEAKER": Next, work on using Google searches to find more about your director and their associated production company. Who is behind this film? Who funded it? Can you find any other films by them? What can you find out about SPEAKER and their ETHOS? Do they seem credible? Any concerns?
4. RESEARCH "OCCASION": Do some reading about your subject and any recent or historical events that may have inspired the filmmaker to make the film or may help you understand the context of the film. For example, if you were watching Southern Rites you might read news stories that were published about the segregated proms before the film was made AND/OR read about segregation in the South during the Civil Rights era.
Add to the group copy of the note-taking sheet I gave you.
