Attend a session, presentation, feature film, or short film collection at the LDS film festival. (See ldsfilmfestival.org for showing times and details.)
Then, as a blog post, write a minimum 3 paragraph critique or review of what you attended. This should be well-thought out, well-developed, and well-written. It should let your readers know of the basic content, for those that did not attend the film, but should focus on analysis, making connections between this film and others, and/or looking at film techniques. You may want to consider how your film/presentation fits in a Mormon cinematic aesthetic which may be different from the standard Hollywood approach. Be charitable watching the films--the best critiques/reviews may point out some weaknesses of a film, but will look at works well and see what makes the film worthwhile. If you attend a presentation about the films you may want to write about how the content of the presentation can be applied to films you've seen, and think about additional insights you may have on the topic. Regardless of how you choose to approach the film, it will be useful to think of it in rhetorical terms--analyze the rhetoric of what it was doing, how it effected the audience, and why.
Because this is worth ten extra credit points in the blog category, it better be in-depth and well-developed.
