Film analysis paper
For this paper, you will select another film we watched this semester to analyze in 5-6 pages, word count 1600. For the final paper, you can write on any topic you like over any of the films we’ve covered. Just make sure to clear your topics with me.
If you can’t think of a topic, here is the general prompt for the final paper:
Pick ONE scene from one film we’ve watched this semester.
1) Break down the various elements (dialogue, images, camera movements, sound) in this particular scene and say what each element adds to the scene and how it makes the scene more powerful or interesting.
2) Then provide an analysis of what this scene adds to the film as a whole. What does this scene contribute to the film’s theme, mood, or style? Does this scene encapsulate the movie as a whole in any ways? Why did you choose this particular scene? Why do you find it so important?
Make sure to answer both questions adequately in at least a 5-6 page paper. *Note: 5 pages means five full pages.
