Dr.Morris' Gift

Today when I met with Dr.Morris he gave me a book called Film, Form, and Culture by Robert Kolker. I've been leafing through it and it contains practically everything about the technical aspects of film. I think it's gonna help me a ton for this project. Now, I have all the official terms for the tropes and techniques that I've been observing in all the movie's I've been watching! It even contains information on auteur theory which I definitely need to know more about.

I've decided that I'll write separate essays for each director now so I think I'll try to write a rough draft of a structural/technical analysis on Kubrick this weekend. Ill give it to Dr.Morris to look at probably so he can make any revisions.  If I find the time I'll also try to watch at least one of Tarantino's movies this weekend. Probably not Reservoir Dogs or Pulp Fiction because I've seen them like 10 times each but, it definitely wouldn't be torture if I decided to watch either.
