Format: Use Chicago style for citations. Include: a title page, standard margins, double spacing and 12 font type size. Papers should only reference scholarly sources—ie. Web movie reviews or blog posts are NOT scholarly sources. But the required and recommended essays posted on our Moodle site are. Your essay must include at least THREE academic sources, as proof of the ‘research’ component of the assignment. Keep your thesis narrow, focused and workable, and provide evidence to back up whatever claims you wish to make. Include passages that involve detailed film analysis of a particular sequence, noting formal issues. Focus on how the sequence exemplifies your thesis. Draw upon ideas in the assigned and recommended readings and additional scholarly research and situate your discussion within the context of some of the themes and issues we have explored in the course. Your response requires close and careful engagement with course texts with detailed explication of specific concepts. Proper documentation is essential.
