Select a full-length film from the AFI 10: Top 10 list

Our textbook sets up a distinction between story and plot, stating that story is what happens in a movie, and plot is how it happens.

The distinction may seem minor; however, throughout this course, we will be scrutinizing the various aesthetic choices and cinematic techniques that work together to create meaning in any movie.

With that in mind, we can see that how a film presents action can be very important Adding Pictures and Video to Discussions and Introductions .

In at least 200 words, describe the relationship of story to plot in your chosen film. Be sure to:

Identify the title, writer, director, major actors, and the year.

Summarize the story and plot of your chosen movie.

Discuss whether your film is presented chronologically or non-linearly.

In your discussion, address the following:

How did this aesthetic choice contribute to the general effect on the audience?

How are elements like character development or foreshadowing impacted by the choice of storytelling methods?

If the film had followed a different presentation style, how would the general effect on the audience have been different?

You must use at least two outside sources, in any combination of embedded video clips, still photos, or scholarly sources.

All sources should be documented in APA style as outlined by the Ashford Center.
