analysis paper

choose any film you wish, watch it in its entirety and

choose ONE pivotal scene in the film to analyze. The scene should be anywhere from two-to-

five-minutes in length. Longer scenes can be very challenging to analyze in a short paper such as

this, so choose wisely.

One of the most important required components for a successful paper is a clear and effective thesis statement (which is required to be underlined). I expect to see a thesis statement that identifies what the filmmakers are trying to achieve with the scene in question, which tools of cinema and/or aspects of mise-en-scene were used to achieve their desired effect, and to what extent they were successful. By the way, for a paper of this size, you should analyze three tools of cinema and/or aspects of mise-en-scene.

The body of the paper must be a formal analysis of how 3 specific tools of cinema and/or aspects of mise-en-scene were used to forward the narrative of the chosen sequence with strong topic sentences:
