write a 6 to 8-page paper about any non-American film of your
choosing. It can be a documentary or a fiction film; it can even be a short film. It can
be a film we discussed in class (from A Fantastic Woman on), but it cannot be the film
you presented about.
Incorporating 3-5 scholarly sources (one of which must be from the MAIN, not
Supplementary, readings from any week), make an argument about how your chosen
film engages with identity.
But be more specific than identity here: you might write about:
how the film depicts a specific identity category (race, gender, class, sexuality,
ability);
how the film explores authorship or character;
the ways the film reflects/engages with its directors own identity;
how identity is troubled or muddled in the film and why;
how the historical and nationa
Hello
Before taking on the task, please make sure you have some interest in history and film and can comfortably research and write about them.
While I have added the syllabus of this course (Which shows the assigned films we have watched in class) and the articles that we read from the notebook The Oxford History of World Cinema by Geoffry Nowell-Smith.
I need a historical timeline of films from 1895 to 1960.
The timeline HAS to mention all the following significant film periods and moments in history:
- Date given as the birth of the motion picture
- The emergence of multi-shot films.
- Emergence of Nickelodeons
- The emergence of crosscutting/ parallel editing
- The emergence of feature-length films( their establishment as the new norm)
- Rise to prominence of Hollywood and the Hollywood Studio System
- Introduction of sound
- Experiments with film color; the rise of Technicolor and other color processes
"Your task for this assignment is to submit a film critique. A film critique is a structured argument about a specific issue of one film. You will develop a clear and specific thesis about one film, then persuade your reader why your thesis is significant."
Film Theory:
*Does the paper correctly apply appropriate terms and concepts from film theory?
*Does the paper illustrate a clear understanding of the filmmakers style and vision?
Analysis:
*Does the paper develop a coherent argument based on the TREE system: a Thesis supported by Reasons which rest upon Evidence and Examples?
*Does the paper formulate a clear thesis?
*Does the paper provide a cogent analysis of the film?
*Does the paper back up its arguments by using examples from the film?
Formulate a thesis that addresses the major characteristics of the style, both technical and artistic.
Summarize the historical period, discuss its major contributions, directors, and films.
Focus your discussion on ONE Director
Cite a minimum of 4 examples from the films listed to support your assertions
Cite 4 research references other than your text.
List references on a separate page
Address the questions:
What were the main contributions of the period?
How did the films of this director influence the development of the cinema as a artistic influence?
Ex: George Melies developed a series of special effects relying on trick photography that introduced the aspect of Fantasy into filmmaking. This departure from the recording of real events, known as 'Actualites', incorporated creativity and placed dominance on the fictional film at the very dawn of cinema history.

My advice would be that you start with a) a short introduction where you indicate the chosen concept b) an example of such concept (something that you've done already in discussion posts/mid-term exam), c) an explication of this example using the concept, d) conclusion. The limit of 2-3 pages is not super-strict, as soon as you demostrate critical/analytical apporach.
Rise of Realism, discuss what you see as the benefits of the Realistic acting style that Stanislavski developed. As you look at the world of modern entertainment, did Realism make for better theatre (and film) in your opinion? Are there any downsides or disadvantages to the development of Realism?
