Choose one of the image sets below (all of which have been drawn from film) and shape an interpretive argument that engages three of the images available in that set.

Step 1: One your own, describe in intricate detail what you see. Consider the content framed by the image's boundaries (what you see as well as what the image suggests lies out of sight), the use of color, light and shadow, the presence of costume, action and interaction, any relevant details in the background which help establish time and place, culture and era, the relationship between the central figure and any surrounding characters, etc. (10 minutes)

Step 2: Share your notes aloud with your group members (5-10 minutes)
