. This paper should be a close analysis of a chosen film or two films that are significantly related in some way. Your chosen film(s) cannot be from European or North American cinemas! You may analyze the content of the film, its cultural context, or the film industry that produced it, or some combination of these as is pertinent to your interpretation of the film. Because this is a short class, you should use the blogs and activities to help you draft 1-2 pages a week in order to have a complete 6 page paper by the end of the 6 weeks. Here are the requirements:
1. Minimum 6 pages (not including works cited), double-spaced, 12 pt Times New Roman font, 1” margins.
2. Use MLA, APA, Chicago, or whichever citation style you are most familiar with. Be consistent.
3. Use at least 2-4 sources including the film. 1-2 sources should be external scholarly sources located through the UB Library. Note that you may not find scholarly research written specifically on your chosen film—you will likely have to look more broadly at scholarship on cinema in the region and cultural context the film comes from.
4. Must have an argument! Do not just summarize or report on the content of the film. Analyze and interpret it: how should we understand the film? What do we learn from it? What is its meaning, and why is it significant? What are its major themes and messages? Back up your argument with specific evidence from the film and your sources.
5. Submit the paper through the Assignment submission in Week 6 of the course on UBLearns.
