Papers must adhere to the formatting guidelines provided at the end of the syllabus. The submission must consist of a complete title and a single developed paragraph that could serve as the beginning of an 8-10 page completed paper. The paragraph should have a clearly identifiable thesis and be focused on critical analysis of form and meaning. The paragraph should not be a summary of the film’s plot or simple description of formal technique. Each paragraph should make an interpretive claim along with details and context that provide a blueprint for the supporting evidence and analysis that would come in the rest of the paper should it be completed. Your thesis sentence must be underlined. No late papers or email submissions will be accepted for responses. You may choose from the assigned screenings that you have watched for the course. Response papers will be graded on a pass/fail basis using five criteria:
1.Title: A complete and engaging title identifies both topic and purpose.
2.Knowledge: Demonstrates that you are intimately familiar with the film.
3.Style and mechanics: Well-written and closely proofread.
4.Formatting: Follows all of the formatting guidelines and length requirements.
5.Interpretation: Makes a compelling argument that expands understanding.
