2009 Video Mash Up




Do you remember what films you saw last year? Was there a film that took your breath away or made you think about life? Was there a film that totally blew you away? Why? What was it about the film(s) that affected you so much? Take a look at the video mash up that is attached to this blog and see how many films you recognize in the mash up. You may need to watch it over again a few times to make sure you're able recognize the films. List all the films you recognize, and then explain which ones really affected you by answering some of the questions that are posed at the beginning of this entry. I realize that these films came out last year, but the idea behind a good film is that its effects are long lasting. Often times we remember films from as far back as our childhood because of the novelty of film culture or because the film was just really good.

Remember to use appropriate sentence structure, grammar and spelling. Write at least 250 words on the topic.
