As we discussed last class, if you have not done a film presentation yet, you must turn in an Origins of Cinema paper at the end of the semester. Deadline is 05.12.10 at 12 noon.
The paper should be 4-5 pages, 12-point Times New Roman font, double-spaced. Please email me a copy as well as turning in an actual printed paper.
The paper must include:
-Brief bio and filmography of the director (greatest hits, limit it to top 10)
-Brief summary of the film’s plot and necessary story elements
-Brief description and analysis of two important scenes: discuss the “mise-en-scène” -->framing, composition, POV, sets, lighting, acting, costumes, etc.
-Historical and critical analysis: why is this film important within the history of film, and what makes it unique?
You are welcome to quote liberally from online and print sources, but everything must be properly footnoted/credited. Use the same MLA format you are using for art history or other classes. DO NOT PLAGIARIZE.
