    1. StoryBoard 1:

      Us Versus Them Title- Could be catchier but I think it makes sense and is straightforward. I love analyzing movies so I think I am already drawn in my that. Content-

      1. I think it is kinda hard to identify a thesis through images when it comes to analyzing, however the images are good in my opinion.
      2. Yes, I think the thesis is clear what the thesis is through images and the title. The creator talks about the duality that is represented by the identical families, the scissors, etc. and the differences between the boy's face.
      3. Yes it is clear that the creator will be doing what is mentioned above. There aren't specific details but based on my knowledge of the meanings, I could tell where the creators head is at and that they have fully developed the symbolism (it's just a lot to type out).
      4. Yes the story board is very clear in its intentions.
      5. I think talking about Jordan Peele's intentions could be interesting; he said it was just a horror movie with no commentary (I believe he said that in an interview) but it's not. It is complex and has a political meaning. I think he wanted to drum up conversation and even manipulated the audience into researching deeper (imo); there was a bible verse used over and over and over and it never said what it was. The first thing I did was google the bible verse and the top results were all about the movie Us. Images/media- I assume they will use images from the movie. I recommend using video clips that you can screen record on YouTube. Final thoughts- I think you could talk about his filmmaking style and how his history of political messaging. I also think it could be worth mentioning how he's helped to elevate the horror genre (not many have Academy Award winning actresses like Lupita Nyong'o) and bring diversity to it.
