The final paper should be an analytical research paper that constructs an argument using one or more of the film theories that we have discussed in class. This means that your film could make an argument about:
- Film and ideology – Gender and film, Race and film, Otherness and film
- Medium-specificity – film as a photographic medium (Benjamin or Bazin), film form and its manipulation of time and space (Eisenstein, Pasolini, Benjamin), film and the gaze (Mulvey)
- How new digital technologies transform film/media (McPherson, Casetti, Hodge,Steyerl)Your paper must include a close analysis of one scene (you can include analyses of more than one scene). Your paper must have a thesis that you support with concrete evidence, whether historical (from your research), theoretical (from a recognized theorist or philosopher), or audio-visual (specific information from your analysis of the scene/film – this last one will be the easiest and the most effective!).
Requirements:
I’m writing about Titanic, specifically the scene that Jack enters the first class and has dinner.
I want to make a thesis about class barrier and free will.
I want to use a integrated form instead of the context quote analysis form.
