October 13-15: La Habanera

Identify and defend your categorization of the film's hero, either Don Pedro or Sven Nagel. Think about the different ways each character is presented, cast, shot. Take the complexity of each character into account when making your argument. One option would be to pick a scene and discuss how it functions for the audience. Consider how lighting, sound, and the edition of shots function, including how they seem to represent specific cultural values.

If you prefer, you can instead tease out problem points, where you believe the scene to change shots, perspectives. Be sure to also make use of the actual film: lighting, editiong choices. It may be productive to think of the film in terms of things which are not included.
