Write a thesis-driven essay in which you examine an everyday item or items (a building or set of buildings, a public space, commercial breaks during a TV show, a store interior, product displays, etc.) of your choice from a cinematic perspective. You may not use a TV show or film as the object of study for this paper
What “message” does the item send through its mise-en-scene, framing, colors, sound, etc.? How can the theories of cinema help us to understand the larger forces in society that shape our responses and ideas?
