Question Seven

This week in class, we'll be talking about movies. We did a crossword that introduced elements of the movie such as plot, setting, stars and genre. For me, the most important aspect of a movie is the genre. I really prefer sci-fi movies. Credible plotlines are also important to me so the story must follow a logical order. That's why I enjoyed a movie like 2001 A Space Odyssey

As an example of how you can use your blog to continue a topic from class, I will ask the question; What are the most important elements of a movie for you?
