At least 1500 words (not included the cover or reference page). APA format.
All papers must be uploaded to the course’s Turnitin.com site as detailed on page two of this instruction sheet.
Instructions for Assignment:
This assignment allows you a degree of flexibility. Choose one of the following films. Write an analytical essay on the film you have selected. The specific focus of the analysis should be informed in part by its applicability to the film at hand. I have identified the nation of origin and director for the films and suggested the context in which each of the selected films should be considered. Your paper must have a stated thesis which guides the analysis you pursue, and at least two specific sequences from the film should be employed as examples to bolster your argument.
– Sunrise (U.S.A, 1927; director: F.W. Murnau; 95 minutes, expressionism / kammerspiel in Hollywood)
– All Quiet on the Western Front (U.S.A., 1930; director: Lewis Milestone; 138 minutes, early sound)
– Mad Love (U.S.A., 1935; director: Karl Freund; 68 mins.; expressionism in Hollywood)
– Bride of Frankenstein (U.S.A., 1935; director: James Whale, 75 mins.; expressionism in Hollywood)
– Le Quai des Brumes / Port of Shadows (France, 1938; director: Marcel Carné; 91 mins.; French poetic realism)
The student is responsible for screening their chosen film.
Advice and Admonitions:
1. The manner of submission requires the assignment must be typed and double-spaced with reasonable margins, and should be between 6-8 pages, excluding any appendices, (i.e., a segmentation or film stills). Title your essay, include your name, student number, course name and number. Do not place your name on any other page of the document (i.e., in header), as the work is intended to be marked “blind” to the author’s identity. This ensures the essay’s argument, and not the individual student is marked.
2. If you are overwhelmed by the number and variety of film titles available to you and do not want to wade through all the material in order to make an informed selection, please contact me. I will be able to describe in more detail what the various films involve, in terms of subject matter, etc. and aid you in tailoring your choice to your own interests.
3. This paper will be assessed both in terms of content and style. Sloppily written essays with poor organization, grammatical errors, or other related problem will be penalized. Check for spelling and grammatical errors before you submit your work.
4. As mentioned in the course syllabus this course will be using a web-based service, Turnitin.com, designed to reveal plagiarism. You are required to submit your work electronically to be checked for originality of submission.
5. AI will not be allowed to be used in this essay. Turnitin will detect it and you will get a 0.
