The Process

[Deanna Wiist]

This was one of my favorite sessions so far. Professor Yasar really worked to be interactive with his approach to Ozu’s film, Late Spring. He also kept his focused narrowed. The use of selected film clips and discussion gave everyone a chance to interact and broadened my understanding of the film. His was an approach that would work well in the classroom when working through any film. It would allow you to use films that might otherwise be off-limits because the teacher could be selective in the choice of clips. I even liked how he did the opening curtain with his Power Point.
