Today we learned about the 4 values of film that we will be using to analyze films.

Then we watched a short film called Elefante' two times. You should be able to YouTube it.  The second time, we watched it looking for one of the four values only.  Then we discussed it in groups and as a class.  To get credit for the day, just pick on of the 4 values and share your notes with me.
