Title: Film Forum
Course: BC - New Media 11 - 1.0

In this forum, identify a favourite movie that includes a significant character, scene, or special effect that is generated using Computer Graphic Imagery (CGI).

If possible, find a link to a scene from that movie online so that your classmates can view it as well.

In a 200- to 250-word post, describe how CGI is used in the film, and whether you believe it is used effectively or not. Some questions that may prompt your thinking include:

- How realistic is the CGI imagery?
- Does the CGI add to the movie-watching experience? In what way?
- Does the CGI detract from the movie-watching experience in any way? Is it distracting, or does it flow well with the rest of the movie?
- In what ways does the CGI make it possible to produce something that would otherwise be impossible to produce on film?

Please be sure to only include scenes that are family-friendly.

After posting your own suggestion, spend some time engaging with the film clips that your classmates have posted. Try to explore several of your classmates’ posts and create a brief written response to at least two of them in separate 100- to 150-word responses.

In your response, do not just say, “I agree! Great job!” Analyze the film clip you viewed, research some other information the filmmakers have released about their process, or offer praise or charitable critique of the film’s use of CGI. Try to add something meaningful and insightful to the conversation so that everyone’s understanding of the topic can be increased.
