Viewing Night of the Hunter: Day 1

Goal: Watch the first 30 minutes of Night of the Hunter while making notes about items related to the theme, mood and irony in the film.

How could you organize your notes to look for theme, mood and irony before we begin watching the film?

1. Open your English journal and set up a note taking system for yourself. 
2. As we watch the film make a note of any irony you see. 
3. Look for settings, or shots the reflect various moods in the film. 
4. See if you can spot a reference to the theme near the very beginning.
