There have been fifteen copycat murders directly influenced by the motion picture Natural Born Killers (NBK) – more than any other film in history. Why has this film had such an impact on young copycat offenders, exactly? Why is it well-suited to help us understand how particular media content increases the likelihood of copycat violence? In other words, what is it about the film’s production, script, and characters that explain its copycat effect?

The movie is called Natural Born Killers

In the essay, which should be at least 500 words and written mostly in your own words, be sure to reference information from the reading by Helfgott, “Criminal Behavior and the Copycat Effect,” and refer to specific scenes from NBK to provide in-depth explanation of the points you make. When referencing the reading, make sure to refer to page numbers to indicate where you got particular information.

You may want to consider some of these more specific questions to guide your analysis. (You don’t have to answer all of them, but they may be helpful as a guide to think through your response to the above prompt.):

What is it about the characters Mickey and Mallory that likely contributed to their influence on misguided young people who subsequently committed violent acts?
How does the film distort the boundary between fantasy and reality, fiction and non-fiction? How did the filming and editing style in the movie in particular, help blur the distinction between fiction and reality? How might this contribute to the film’s copycat effect?
How is violence in the film portrayed? How might this contribute to the copycat effect?
How would you categorize the genre of the film? Why may this be important for understanding the film’s copycat effect?
How is the violence of Mallory portrayed differently from the violence of Mickey and other (male) characters? What cultural meanings are reflected by such differences?
What do you think is the message producer and director Oliver Stone wanted to convey with this film, with respect to matters of celebrity and infamy? Do you think he was successful in this regard?
What cognitive distortions are conveyed by Mickey and Mallory (and other violent characters) that are also common among real-life mass shooters and copycat killers?

How does it connect with the rest of the film and its narrative? What is the importance of the scene and its relation to other scenes? Is it a major turning point? How does the scene support the film’s theme(s)? How are characters presented? What kind of characters are presented and why?
3. Part 1:
a. Write a brief description of the selected scene.
b. Explain what is so important about the succession of shots that comprises the scene? Analyze (don’t just describe) the shots’ mise-en-scene, cinematography, editing, acting, and sound. How do these stylistic elements work together to create emotional and intellectual effects?
c. Discuss how the shots work together and separately:
d. How is meaning created and imparted to the viewer?
e. How do the shots convey information and characterization?
f. Why might these particular shots have been used? What gives them impact?
g. How is meaning built up in the scene?
4. Part 2:
a. How does this scene relate to other scenes; think of the form of the film. How does the scene relate to the theme you have selected to focus on?
b. How does the scene relate to the form of the film? Is it part of a repetitive pattern? Part of the development of the film? Explain the scenes relation to the theme created through the form.
c. How does the scene relate to the Narrative? Is there a 3-act structure? How does it relate to the character goals? Does this film follow a Classical Hollywood Narrative? Where does your scene fit into this narrative?
5. Conclusion:
a.And, lastly return to your thesis by broadening your scene analysis to the rest of the film. Explain the significance of analyzing this one scene.
b.Explain why analyzing this one scene is important in the interpretation and analysis of the film as a whole.

Do not:
1. Discuss the plot in detail. Your reader has already seen the film you are writing about;
2. Just list and describe the shots;
3. Use extensive quotations or lines of dialogue for your analysis;
4. Repeat yourself.
Be sure to:
1. Use correct spelling, grammar, and syntax;
2. Describe and analyze the scene in detail;
3. Build analysis through use of detail;
4. Use terms from the textbook so as to show you understand them;
5. Include an original title for your paper, and to number each page;
6. Use the present tense and use characters’ (not actors’) names in your paper;
7. Proofread.

Note: for your analysis, it is crucial that you watch the film in its original aspect ratio (letterbox). Do not watch a film in Full Screen unless that is the aspect ratio the film was distributed as. Some of these films are available at Learning Resource Center. You may select a different film, but you will need to have the film approved.

Shot Breakdown:
In addition to the 7-9 page paper (at least 2,300 words), provide a shot breakdown for the scene you have selected to analyze – in list, column, or table form – that includes the following information. You can create this as a list (look below) or as a table. You should include at least 30 shots in your chart.

SCENE: A complete unit of plot action incorporating one or more shots; the setting of that action. A scene is usually 3-5 minutes long and takes place in one location or setting.

SHOT: Those images which are recorded continuously from the time the camera starts to the time it stops. That is, an unedited, uncut strip of film. Once the there is a cut (an edit), them the next image is the next shot. It refers to a single, constant take made by a motion picture camera uninterrupted by editing, interruptions, or cuts, in which the camera stops to record, and then stops recording.

If the scene you selected includes long-takes (shots that are longer than a few seconds before there is an edit), then the camera is most likely moving and reframing the mise-en-scene. You will then need to split the long-take into separate shots. Each time the camera reframes, then that could be considered a new shot. You will need to identihy these as 1a, 1b, 1c, etc – same shot, but different parts of that same shot.

1. Shot number (you will assign each shot a number).
2. Mise-en-scene: Describe the setting, the props, the lighting, the costumes, etc.
3. Cinematography: camera distance (e.g. LS [long shot], MS [medium shot], CU [closeup]….). Is the camera moving or is it stable? Is the lens wide or long?
4. Editing: describe the editing? Is it following a classical Hollywood structure? Is it fast-paced?
5. Acting and dialogue: is the acting convincing? Does the diagloue provide insight into the themes?
6. Sounds, Music, Narration and/or Titles: Describe the diegetic and non-diegetic elements of the film.
