La Jetee.
Which one other film or television series would you also like to write about (in conjunction with the above choice)?
Richard Linklater's film Waking Life.
Which broader issue or topic might you link your analysis to?
Memories vs. dreams as narrative tools, how they are portrayed similarly or differently on screen, how the protagonist exists in relation to them, how their treatment on screen compares to real life perception of them.
Which specific segment(s) of your first selection might you choose to focus on at this point, and which aspects of cinematic form (e.g. our four categories) strike you as particularly pertinent?
Specifically on shots in which the main character is actively living "in the past." Diegesis and mise en scene would probably be relevant here.
What a fantastic pairing--La Jetee and Linklater (almost any Linklater)! Very much looking forward to your analytical paper, whatever it's specific focus turns out to be.
