movie analysis on “Black Swan”

PROFESSORS INSTRUCTION:
Rubric For your first paper, you will write an analysis regarding 1 of the movies screened in class and you will use the analysis tools we discussed in class and the readings contained in your textbook. For example, you can write about the film’s use of Fictional and Dramatic elements, you can write about the film’s theme and Focus, Editing, cinematography and Special Visual effects, acting, film structure, color, ect… You can write about the meaning of names and the title, to name a few examples. The goal is to choose 1 chapter in the book to focus your analysis. Choose three topics from that chapter and set them up in your intro paragraph, prior to your thesis statement. Your essay should be 2 pages long, 12-point font and double-spaced (less than 2 pages 1 letter grade will be deducted). You will need to cite three sources for your sources cited page, which in this case will be your textbook, and the movie and a source you find on your own. Make sure not to write a paper that summarizes the movie. We have all seen the movie and summary is not analysis. Make sure to quote your sources properly in your paper and avoid plagiarism. I will grade your paper on the quality/brevity of your thesis statement, which should be located at the end of your introductory paragraph, as well as the content you are setting us as discussional content for later analysis. Make sure as well to write your analysis paper in the third person. Academic papers written in the third person create stronger arguments for your chosen point of view. Grading will also consist of the quality of your analysis and the quality/brevity of your conclusory/thesis alignment in your conclusory paragraph as well as grammar and punctuation. This essay is worth 15 points, which will be divided evenly over the 5 criteria discussed in the rubric and listed below. Late essays will be deducted 1 letter day per day late. A paper not uploaded prior to the start of class on March, 29th will be considered 1 day late. Your essays must be submitted in any of the following formats: DOC, DOCX, PDF, RTF or TXT or WPD (*******no other formats are acceptable for upload*******). For instance, a google docs link is not acceptable.
