Overview
Analytical Writings
This should always be in response to the film you watch outside of class for that week and the accompanying essay you read about the film. It should follow the parameters below, be printed out, and handed in at the beginning of the class period in which we discuss it. ▪ 1 single-spaced page with 1” margins; 10 or 12 point standard font, such as Times New Roman. May exceed one page if necessary. ▪ Divided into three sections: 1. An analytical paragraph on at least one theme, scene, character, composition, technique, etc. of the film. Provide detail and explanation to inform and convince the reader of your observation. 2. A paragraph explaining the purpose of the essay written on the film then summarizing the main points and highlights. 3. Did the essay allow you to see something new about the film or reinforce what you already thought? Explain in depth. ▪ Avoid just writing plot summary. Assume that the reader has seen the film, so that you can reference characters and events to illustrate your claims and make your point. ▪ Refer to the events in present tense, as if the plot is always in motion: “On his deathbed, Kane whispers ‘Rosebud’ then drops a snow globe to the floor.” “When Cleo sings the tune, she begins to cry.” “The camera cranes forward on a scene from ancient Babylon.”
