Research Paper - Film Lit

BRIEF EXPLANATION:



Research:
1.       Pick some aspect of movies/film. Research that thing. (This can be cinematography, animation, music in movies, the Oscars, an actor, an actress, etc.)
a.       This is going to take a little bit of effort on your part. Use the internet, find RELIABLE sources. You may even want to go to a few libraries. If you have the opportunity to go to the Orem Library, I would definitely take that opportunity! They have many choices there. If you have any books at home or have friends that have books about film, that would also work out quite well.
b.      If you wait until it gets close to the end of the term, you are not going to be able to get it done in time then your grade will suffer as you get a zero for this very important assignment.
2.       Write an essay that shares with me what you learned from the book and what insights you got. Really try to find some interesting information that helps you to understand filmmaking even more clearly.
a.       If you researched an actor, what insights do you now have about that actor? What were interesting stories that were told? What movies did he/she act in and why were they important?
b.      If you researched cinematography, what camera shots did they talk about? What movies did they single out as having the best cinematography EVER? What things do you now know about cinematography that you didn’t before?
