For the past week, Film 1 students have been working with the library on their "Cinemascope" papers -- a 3-5-page paper based on a topic of their choosing which is either "Cinematic" (film history, history of film movements, etc.) or "Filmic" (one singular film, one filmmaker, etc.). Topics range from "The CSI Effect -- Films and Jury Tampering," to "The Aesthetics of Filmmaker Steve McQueen," to "Hollywood Dog Trainers: Rin Tin-Tin, Lassie, and Uggie." As an added feature, the paper review process included a "Talk with an Expert" on Thursday. Knowing that Castilleja faculty and staff boast an assortment of backgrounds, interests, and specialties, Film 1 students had to "pitch" their paper and its main points to them in a dialogue drawing on their experience and expertise. It proved to be a fun forum for exploring both Film and the Casti community.
