lesson 3 discussion double indemnity discussion 2 1

GO TO THE TEXTBOOK, END OF CHAPTER 2:

FOCUS ON STORY AND GENRE: DOUBLE INDEMNITY

Reading a movie script reminds us that the mode of telling that story on screen—the images and sounds—can only be approximated or suggested by the written word. With that caveat, we will look at an excerpt from the screenplay for Billy Wilder’s 1944 crime film, Double Indemnity. It is the climactic scene of the movie where the insurance man, Walter, confronts the treacherous ‘femme fatale’ Phyllis. They have conspired to kill her husband for an insurance payoff, but after that deed was performed, Phyllis has played Walter for a sucker, a fairly typical 1940s crime film plotline.

Earlier in the film, Walter compared acting out a murder to riding on a trolley … that when two people conspire to commit such a crime they need to stay on the trolley and stick by one another (and one another’s stories) to the bitter end. Both characters have gotten off the trolley at this point. Note on the script page included in your text book, how the hard-boiled dialogue maintains the noir, crime-film milieu and yet also manages to pack an emotional punch.

RESPOND TO AT LEAST ONE OF THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS:

  1. Film narratives often refer directly or indirectly to a contemporary issue. How does DOUBLE INDEMNITY refer to a larger political, social, or economic reality?
  2. Genre. What elements of story, plot, character, setting and/or emotional effect are associated with Film Noir? How are conventions and expectations fulfilled by the movie? Is the genre narrative used to offer a social commentary?
  3. Do some research into the biography and filmography of the film’s director. How might his or her biography and filmography inform your reading of the film?

    For full credit you must also respond to at least one other student, further stimulating discussion.
    • Discussion must be focused on subject.
    • Film vocabulary and concepts introduced in this class are used.
    • Response contains complete sentences.
    • No spelling errors.See grading rubric for complete details (at pulldown located at right corner of this page).

nrse 4530 written assignment

The written assignment this week is a nice change from the usual APA written assignment! This week you will be instead creating an ecomap, genogram and writing an analysis of the information. You will need to interview a family and then illustrate their interfamilial relationships as well as their external support systems and stressors by creating a genogram and ecomap. You will also analyze the ecomap and genogram.

    • No title page is required
    • Review the ecomap and genogram in the textbook in Chapters 12, 13, 14, and 15. This will be your guide as you create an ecomap and genogram similar to that based on your interviewed family
    • Include a legend consisting of genogram and ecomap symbols as shown in the text. If this is missing, there will be points deducted.
    • Write an analysis of the family relationship based on the concepts from the text and outside resources. This is where your 4 references will be used.
  • The genogram, ecomap and written information must all be in one document.

Assistance with creating help in constructing the genogram/ecomap. Here are instructions for Word, can also be used in Excel and PowerPoint.

  • In the Ribbon across the top of the page, click INSERT, then SHAPES and choose a rectangle, circle, or line.
  • Hover over the edge of the shape you’ve placed (cursor should turn into a four-headed arrow) and right-click. Choose ADD TEXT to add text to the center.
  • To move objects, hover over them until cursor becomes four-headed arrow, then drag and drop. You can change fill/color etc. by right-clicking and selecting FORMAT SHAPE.
  • Copy/paste is your best friend when drawing shapes, lines, etc. Once you have a shape created (or find a shape you like in another document), copy and reuse it.
        • Must include 4 references, 2 must be from course materials and 2 from peer reviewed references. As we are aware in week 4 there is only 1 required/recommended reference, the students will be given instruction to use the Kaakinen text and 3 additional peer reviewed references to meet the guidelines of the assignment
        • Reference must be no older than 5 years (2014-2020) unless course material.
        • 4 point per day deduction for late assignments
