Follow the attach instruction to complete this work.

Discussion, you will need to watch two films: 
Lady Bird (Greta Gerwig. 2017) and a film of your choice from the provided list.

 
Film One

Lady Bird (Greta Gerwig. 2017) 

Greta Gerwig’s 
Lady Bird is a coming-of-age story superbly directed and edited.  Gerwig’s debut as a director shows an amazing grasp of all the elements of directing. Notice how the film’s mise-en-scène reflects the time the film is set.  Gerwig’s casting of the characters and handling of the actors brings those characters to life in non-cliched ways.  And the screenplay, written by Gerwig, hits all the normal tropes of the high school film: worrying about boyfriends and girlfriends, getting into college, relationships with parents, but avoids standard devices and presents more easily identifiable moments.
