Week+Fourteen

Its Decmember already! Can you believe it? With the holidays approaching fast were keeping our spirits up by continuing //The Godfather//.... Talk about peace and love... Anyway today we copied down quote from the director and continued watching. "Take the gun, leave the canollies."
 * __Monday, December 3rd__**

We started off by examining a picture today. Amber waves of grain and the statue of liberty right before someone gets shot. Mr. Lynn also came by to visit for awhile. In the movie Micheal has pretty much taken over the entire family business and his father is acting as an advisor. Micheal is now married to Kay after the death of his previous wife in Sicily. At the end of today's segment Don Corlione as playing with his grandson when he had what looked like a stroke? Maybe a heart attack. We stopped right as the were beginning the funeral scene. So the plan for tomorrow is to spot the ghost of the movie... On a side note Mr. Masson has informed me that this is my last day of logging for awhile anyway so tomorrow's will be whoever picks up from here. Its been a pleasure. Fare thee well.... ~Bri

Well it seems I am still here. I assumed someone else had picked up, but I guess not. I'll fill in everything I can remember anyway. I believe we finished //The Godfather// today and Mr. Masson slowed down the tape to show the ghost of the woman's face on Micheal's shoulder. Pretty creepy. The common belief is that its some kind of reflection, but we'll never really know. Then we went ahead and finished //The Godfather//. Tomorrow were going to go over the baptism scene.
 * __Wednesday, December 5th__**

Hi again. Today we went through the baptism scene again and we split the class into three groups: one to write down everysound used, one to count all the different locations, and one to count all the cuts. At the end we discussed how the director used these different techniques to make the scene really powerful.

~Thanks Shana!!~ Mr. Masson passed out song sheets for "The Sound of Silence" from //The Graduate//. We watched the opening of the film where he is in the airport and his character is shown as someone who is a loner and not in a hurry to get anywhere and we listened to a record of "The Sound of Silence"
