Abstract

This essay describes an innovative film studies assignment in which students explore still photography and Hollywood cinema. The author and his freshman cinema studies students learned by doing--they created their own film stills after Cindy Sherman, employing frame analysis, semiotics, and Barthes's concept of the 'third meaning' along the way.
