Hegemonic Patriarchy
These three questions are supposed to be three different essay topics. therefore three small essays each about a little more than a page. Question 1 (worth 5 points): Write a thoughtful, well-organized essay on representations of men and women in The Godfather. Is hegemonic patriarchy displayed in the film? Begin your essay with an explanation (always in your own words) of what hegemonic patriarchy is, followed by your statement that indicates whether you believe it was displayed in The Godfather or not. The remainder of your essay should be three-five paragraphs examining specific ways (characters actions, appearance, etc.; narrative/plot arc(s), mise-en-scene, etc.) that the film displays or doesnt display hegemonic patriarchy. Question 2 (5 points): Using correct terminology, discuss and analyze the editing theories and concepts in this CLIP from Battleship Potemkin (Eisenstein, 1925). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sj30JW_O3tQ&feature=youtu.be Question 3 (5 points): Describe the mise-en-scene in either this shot from The Godfather or this shot from School Daze. These are both long takes, so make sure your essay is organized. (clip of school daze begins at 5:45) (clip of godfather begins at 1:35:30) Thank you
