Both Dust in the Wind (1986) and Still Life (2006) are realist films, yet both are also highly stylized and push the limits of cinematic realism. Explain how each film introduces a new level of formal complexity to the realist aesthetic, and how its unique cinematic strategies allow it to capture the complexity of the very reality lived by its characters.

Your answer need not be comprehensive, but should demonstrate your understanding of the key issues, your insights into the course materials (including films, readings, lectures and discussions), and your ability to synthesize ideas and organize a coherent analysis.

Support your analysis by judiciously mentioning specific examples from the films.

In each essay, you should meaningfully incorporate the ideas of class readings in order to bolster your argument. Do not use outside sources, as this is not a research paper.

Note: You are expected to properly cite the readings after each direct or indirect quota

Your article should be different than the ones used in this class. If you aren't sure whether the article is related to class topics, feel free to ask me.

Once you have found an article that you like, write a summary discussing these four points:

The main finding of the scientific study and the evidence the scientists used to answer their question.
Two pieces of evidence covered in class that relate to the study, and why they support or disagree with the conclusions.
Your assessment of the reliability of the source, suppor

This is a paper analyzing two pieces of music: Suite Francaise, and Suite of Old American Dances. You only need to cover the first two movements of each piece. Each of the pieces should account for half of the word count.

The following is the criteria for the paper:

The student evaluates music by thoroughly deconstructing the repertoire, and determining the manipulation of, and relationships between, identified musical elements and compositional devices, communicating detailed and substantiated judgments about how these relate to context and genre and the expressed style.

To DECONSTRUCT means to identify:
musical elements and how theyve been used by the artist (pitch, rhythm, timbre etc)
compositional devices (repetition, sequence, inversion, randomness, serialism, etc)
You should also identify if/how these two things relate to each other (for instance, maybe each time the music repeats the artist plays more softly?)
To EVALUATE means to make judgmen
