On these days in class, we took a break from our usual routines and spent some time looking at the 1931 version of Dracula — we analyzed how the director used lighting, special effects, framing, and costumes in storytelling, and we also considered how the actors used the different tools available to them to craft a convincing performance.

If you weren’t with us, no worries — this isn’t something that you have to have to move forward next week.

No homework. I hope that you all are able to get some rest over this long weekend and enjoy some time with your friends and family.
