So, as those of you who have followed this blog before know, it was originally started for an experience in Digital History.  Well, who knew that I would need it for yet another McClurken class? (I probably should have seen it coming.)  Nonetheless, I’m actually really excited about taking this class.  Historical Films have always been a favorite genre of mine, so the chance to actually take one of my favorite movies and pick it apart is very exciting.  I’ve never paid too much attention to the historical accuracy, unless it is completely off base.  I’m typically one of those nerds that will refuse to see a movie until I’ve read the book.  In a way, determining the accuracy of that sort of film will come in rather handy when it comes to my semester long film project and to be honest, it was never the type of skill that I ever thought I’d need in order to pass a class.  It will definitely be an adventure, but I think going through the different films each week will definitely be good practice.  Although, I have to admit, starting with Pocahontas probably won’t be THAT big of a help since we all know how historically accurate Disney can be (did I REALLY just say that?)

It will definitely be a good class and I’m very excited to see how it turns out and to read over everyone’s projects at the end of the semester.  We’ll see how things go!
