Justice and Deliberation: Analysis of Batman

Author: Tara Neely

Batman Begins: A closer look at modern American Gothic

  1. As we begin to watch the film, Batman Begin, in class I ask that you pay close attention to the art of film creation. Film is more than just a series of images presented for entertainment. Film is a visual art that with words creates a message (if done and processed correctly) that can be as powerful as the written word. 
  2. Knowing your characters in film is just as important as knowing and understanding a novel's characters. So be certain to study the character sheet. There are pictures to help you to make the connections and be aware that a quiz may occur at any time to review your knowledge and depth of character understanding.
  3. There will be a set of questions, quotes, and a graphic organizer that you will be expected to complete in preparation for the final Quest of the unit. Keep current with your notes. I am willing to pause the film for discussion...one need only make the suggestion if a idea strikes you.
