We will screen the second part of The Celluloid Closet. After viewing, please submit your answers to the handout questions for participation credit.
In the second part of class, please return to the lab to complete the following:
When analyzing photographs or prints:
Use the graphic organizer to analyze a series of photos to examine:
1) Selection: What an author (photographer, filmmaker, writer) chooses to draw a reader’s/viewer’s attention to...
and
2)Deflection: What an author (photographer, filmmaker) chooses to push into the background, downplay, or leave out or cut entirely.
3) In approximately 50-100 words, comment on or tell the story as you see it, based upon the series of photos below. This is due at the close of class.
In the second part of class, please return to the lab to complete the following:
When analyzing photographs or prints:
- Observe: what do you see? What do you notice first? What objects or people (subjects) are shown? How are the subjects arranged? What is the setting? What words are shown? What details do you notice?
- Reflect: Why was the image made? What's happening in the image? When was the image shot/made? Who is the preferred audience for this representation? How is the subject represented? What tools were used to create the image? What message is being communicated?

Photo Analysis Exercise:
Look carefully at each of the images in this series and describe precisely was has been selected and what has been deflected in each photo. The purpose of this is to learn to see (and appreciate) how a photojournalist “writes” a story or comments on society through pictures. When you have completed the organizer, please on the back compose a statement of approximately 50-100 words that tells the story or explains what is being "satirized" in the series.
