Assignment task:
Movie: Searching (2018) Director: Aneesh Chaganty
Questions:
This movie is unique filming because it uses all scenes from laptops, cameras, and never a shot that is directly from the camera. Why do you think the director filmed this movie using this technique?
In the opening scene (first 7 min) we get to know the family history and current situation. What did you think about these opening scenes and how it was portrayed? Did you make think about how you are recording your life (and if it applies your family)?
In the Boyd (2014) reading, she talks about how social media etc. is forming a community for teens. Margot used social media to express herself and find a community as well. What do you think?
In this film, there is not a soundtrack of music. So listen carefully. What are the sounds that the director uses? Share one scene where the sound really helped us to think about the scene.
