Essay idea

Film: Cloverfield

Looking into Cinema Verite, it's propaganda uses in the post war 50's and 60's, feministdocumentaries of the 70's, and the current wave of blockbuster hits bringing the films

into a more interactive medium for viewers. For the main film I'm thinking of looking into

either Cloverfield or Paranormal activity. I think Cloverfield would be the better choice

because the camera within the film places the audience as the character holding it,

immersing the audience in the experience. (Ideas for essay thought up through
