Before our viewing of Casablanca, we watched a documentary about the Hollywood Style, which defined it as a type of film-making in which the narrative (story line) takes precedence and all of the effects are used to move this story forward. In your blog response, please answer the following questions about Casablanca and the Hollywood Style:
1. What elements of the film (camera angles, score, costume, lighting, etc.) do you think were essential in this movie? Consider a favorite scene in the film and discuss what techniques made it memorable. Give examples.
2. This movie is often consider the standard for classic Hollywood. Do you think the film is still relevant today? If so, what elements still draw the viewer into the movie? If not, what elements would disinterest a modern viewer?
