Hi Class, Please remember that this Friday, March 21st, we are meeting at the Museum of Moving Image at 10:30 am. This is a mandatory trip. The tour will start at 11am sharp and lasts
1 and 1/2 hours. At 12:30 pm the museum has reserved their lunch room for us, so bring a bag lunch. They do not allow outside vendors to bring lunch into the place. As part of your admission of $6.50 you will be allowed to continue after the tour to explore the museum. The closest subway stop is at Steinway on the E, M or R lines.

If you have not paid me you must do so this friday. If you are not going to be there PLEASE let me know in advance as I have pre-paid for the tickets and don’t want to be charged for those who don’t show up. If you are going to be late please let me know in advance.
You can email me at bjacobson@lagcc.cuny.edu

Lastly, there are several students who are not getting my emails. If so please correct this so you are getting blackboard posts. Lastly, if you haven’t posted last weeks assignment, please do so and be aware there is a new assignment. Bring your cameras and feel free to record photos and video about your favorite aspect – they allow this and it can be incorporated into your next blog assignment, which will be to discuss your favorite aspect of the trip.

RE: “Traffic In Souls” Assignment #2

Please write a 2-3 paragraph post about any aspect you found compelling about the film “Traffic In Souls” (1913) which was screened last week. You can answer one of the following if you prefer: How was the issue of “white slave traffic” subject dealt with in the film? What was the social, political or entertainment value of the film? What  film techniques, such as lighting, editing or camera work were used to make the film more effective?

Please don’t forget to put your name after the heading in the subject line.
