  Final Film Critique – Jerry Maguire

  $25.00

  Throughout this course, you have been writing essays and participating in discussion forums that analyze various elements of film such as theme, cinematic techniques, and genre. It is now time to combine those elements into a comprehensive analysis of one movie.

  You will be completing this assignment in two stages. For the first stage (1500 to 1800 words), you will analyze an entire movie. In the second stage (300 to 600 words), you will reflect on how you analyzed the movie as well as how your ability to analyze film in general has evolved.

  You are encouraged to incorporate writing from your Week Two and Week Three assignments if (a) you have reflected on the instructor’s feedback, (b) you have revised the relevant parts of the essays accordingly, and (c) the essays discuss the same film that you discuss here.

  Stage 1: Analysis

  For this stage, you will be analyzing a movie selected from the AFI’s 10 Top 10 (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. list. The film you choose can be one that you have previously analyzed in this course. While you are allowed to choose a film that does not come from the AFI lists, you are strongly encouraged to email your professor to receive approval before doing so.

  The analysis portion of your paper should be 1500 to 1800 words in length. You should analyze the film through the lens of one of the broad theories you have learned about in class (auteur theory, genre theory, formalist theory). Your analysis must address four main areas (contextual information, story/plot, aesthetic choices, and social/personal impact) and how these areas work together to develop the theme of the movie. As you construct your analysis, assume that your reader is not familiar with this film. Use your analysis to explain to your reader why they should watch this film.

  In addition to the film you are analyzing, you must use three scholarly sources to support your arguments. Refer to the ENG225 Research Guide in the Ashford University Library for guidance and to locate your sources. Cite your sources (including the feature-length film) within the text of your paper and on the reference page. Cite your sources according to APA style as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site..

  Your analysis must address the following components (noted in bold below):

  • Contextual Information – In this area, you will provide some of the basic identifying information of the film. This includes:
    • Title
    • Director, cinematographer, major actors/actresses. Be sure to describe their roles in the overall design process.
    • Year of release
    • Type of film (blockbuster, indie, documentary, etc.)
    • Genre
  • Story/Plot – In this area, you should offer a brief summary of the film, and then show how it was deployed in the narrative structure of the film. Explain the difference between the film’s story and its plot. This area can be addressed as a separate paragraph, or can be threaded throughout your analysis of the film.
  • Aesthetic Choices – In this area, you will assess the efficacy of specific techniques and design elements employed in the film as they apply to the overarching narrative and theme of the film. These elements include:
    • Mise en scène (e.g., lighting, sound, composition of frame, costuming, etc.)
    • Editing (e.g., cuts and transitions, shots used, angles, etc.)
    • Technology (i.e., analyze the impact of any notable technological effects: film stock, targeted release venue, special effects, etc.)
  • Social/Personal Impact – In this area, you will critically address the following questions:
    • What impact did this film have on society (i.e., politically or culturally, positive or negative)? The impact can be as major as inspiring political or social changes or as minor as inspiring the production of toys or lunchboxes.
    • How did society affect this film (i.e., what currents in society led to the creation of the film)?
    • If you are unable to find any information about the social impact of the film, explain the personal impact it has had on you.

  Note: Not every bullet point under the four listed components will necessarily apply to your movie. However, you will still need to discuss each of the four main components thoroughly, which means that you may need to explain a concept even if it can’t be directly applied to your movie.

  Your paper should be organized around a thesis statement that clarifies what you will attempt to accomplish in your paper, and how you will proceed. Additionally, you must conclude with a restatement of the thesis and a conclusion paragraph. Review the Final Film Critique sample, which provides an example of a well-developed analysis as well as insight on composition.

  Stage 2: Reflection

  After completing your movie analysis, you will reflect on the analysis process and how you have learned to more thoroughly analyze film as well as how rigorous study of film enhances your development as a student and thinker. In this 300- to 600-word reflection, review your initial post from the “Post Your Introduction” discussion in Week One, and consider how your ability to analyze movies has changed or grown. Append your reflection to the analysis portion of your paper and submit as one document. Your reflection should be personal and exploratory in nature.

  Address the following questions in your reflection:

  • What can be gained through analyzing film?
  • How has this changed the way you view movies?
  • How are you able to use film theory and criticism to find and interpret meaning in movies?
  • In what ways has this course changed your understanding of how movies are related to society?
  • What skills have you developed during this course, and how might those skills be applied to your major, profession, and/or life?

  The Final Film Critique

  • Must be one document that is 1800 to 2400 words in length, comprised of a 1500- to 1800-word film analysis and a 300- to 600-word reflection.
  • Must include a separate title and reference page, and be formatted according to APA style as outlined in Ashford Writing Center (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site..
  • Must include a title page with the following:
    • Title of paper
    • Student’s name
    • Course name and number
    • Instructor’s name

  • Must address the topic of the paper with critical thought.
  • Must end with a conclusion that reaffirms your thesis.
  • Must use at least three scholarly sources (reviews, articles, or book chapters) other than the textbook to support your points. Refer to the ENG225 Research Guide (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. for guidance.
  • Must document all sources in APA style, as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center.

  Select a movie from AFI’s 10 Top 10 (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. lists and explain how three cinematic techniques and/or design elements have helped establish a major theme in that film. Note: While you are allowed to choose a film that does not come from the AFI lists, you are strongly encouraged to email your professor to receive approval before doing so.

  In 800 to 1200 words

  • Describe a major theme of the movie you have selected using evidence from the movie itself as well as course resources and other scholarly sources to support your position.
  • Identify at least three techniques (cinematography, lighting, acting style, or direction) and/or design elements (set design, costuming, or hair and makeup), and explain how these techniques and/or design elements contribute to the establishment of the theme. Reference particular scenes or sequences in your explanations.
  • State your opinion regarding the mise en scène, including
  • How the elements work together.
  • How congruent the design elements are with the theme of the movie.

  Sher’s reply to Husak (recommended, not required)

  Shapiro’s reply to de Marneffe (recommended, not required)

   

  Requirements: Papers missing any of these elements will not receive credit.

   

  1. ****Most important**** Use one of the two paper structure outlines on the next page. Don’t skip anything—all 8 paragraphs are required in exactly the order given. Don’t skip any paragraphs and don’t add any.
  2. Formatting requirements:
     1. Do not include your name anywhere on the document or the file name.
     2. Minimum word count: 750. Maximum: ~900 words. Aim for this maximum, but don’t worry if it goes over a bit.
     3. Proofread for grammar and spelling (max. 5 mistakes).
     4. This paper should be a formal, professional piece of writing. You may use ‘I’, ‘me’, and ‘my’, but do not use slang.
     5. Indent the first line of each new paragraph. Do not include Roman numerals.

  5. Arguments must address the moral dimensions of this issue rather than merely the factual. What this means: every time you give a fact, you must connect it to a value. (For example, if you believe heroin shouldn’t be legal because it’s highly addictive, you need to explain why addiction is bad or wrong, and why our government ought to control it.)

  Research Paper: Fake News on Social Media

  $7.00

  Group problem: it is still open to minor tweaks but basically how can social media become more efficient in preventing fake news on their sites?

  Group solution:

  TO DO:

  You will turn in a document that has these five things, in this order:

  1. Top of the page: Your name and group number. 
  2. The problem your group agreed to solve in your first meeting in class. Label it: Our Problem
  3. What the solution to this problem was that your group brainstormed in class the following week (last week). Label it: Our Solution
  4. Your SWOT analysis. Label it: SWOT Analysis
  5. Your revised solution that solves the issues raised in your Weaknesses and Threats. Label it: My Revised Solution

  PART 1: (12 points)

  Analyze your final idea idea for solving the fake news problem your group brainstormed in class using the SWOT analysis technique.  What is SWOT? It stands for Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats. For this assignment, analyze the solution and list ten items under each of these four categories:

  • Ten strengths
  • Ten weaknesses
  • Ten opportunities
  • Ten threats

  Be sure to number your SWOT elements, 1–10 under each category.

  READ THIS ENTIRE ASSIGNMENT TO UNDERSTAND WHAT EACH OF THESE SWOT CATEGORIES MEANS!

  ————————————–

  PART 2: (8 points)

  Your group came up with a solution to your problem during discussions in class. Now that you’ve analyzed it using SWOT, you need to FIX the problems you uncovered in the Weaknesses and Threats sections.

  Write a REVISED idea (use at least ten sentences) that SOLVES all of the problematic issues that you uncovered in your SWOT analysis.

  ——————————————-

  Explanations of individual elements in SWOT:

  Strengths and Weaknesses:

  These are internal to an organization, and elements you can control. 

  • Strengths: Good things about your idea. Characteristics of your idea that give it an advantage over other ideas. This is why you feel your idea will work to solve the problem. Be specific. Don’t just say, “It will stop get people moving.”
  • Weaknesses (or Limitations): Challenges or characteristics that put your solution at a disadvantage. For example, you might be saying that a certain technology would be used, but if that technology doesn’t quite exist yet, that’s a major weakness. Or it will be expensive to implement, so where will that money come from? You need to be able to answer these.

  Opportunities and Threats

  These are external influences, probably beyond your control.

  • Opportunities: What are some positive things that might result when you implement your idea? Think of the “ripple effect” where your solution causes other things to happen. Anticipate these. Who else might benefit?  For instance, how might your idea be expanded on by others, or help out in other situations. How might you expand on your idea more broadly?
  • Threats: What external forces are out there that might sink your cool new idea? For instance, I came up with a line of construction-related children’s books that were quite popular for a while (I sold 100,000 copies), but my sales flattened instantly when a program called Bob the Builder arrived in America from England onto Nickelodeon. I had never heard of Bob the Builder, a real threat to my success!! What could derail your idea?

  Change Our World Challenge Paper

  $1.50

  Change Our World Challenge Paper Guidelines

  Introduction: Your mission with this challenge is to find a way to positively impact/improve the life of one or more individuals in a direct way and then tell the teaching team about your idea and experience. You will do this by finding a way to engage with others around social responsibility, sustainability and integrity. This can happen by simply helping someone you know to be in need or working through a non-profit organization. The challenge can include a small cash gift (used in a creative way), an in-kind gift or volunteering to help someone.

  Many times, having a personal impact does not require huge dollars. This project does NOT require giving of money (optional only). Note:  If cash is part of your idea, make sure it is no more than $20.00 and that it is deployed creatively (a straight donation of money does not meet the criteria for this project). The teaching team expects you to put into practice your idea for this challenge: volunteering (3 hours minimum), in-kind donation (goods you own or control, done creatively) or cash (maximum of $20.00) deployed creatively.

  Impacts of Leadership & Leverage: A key component of this challenge is to showcase your leadership and that you understand leveraging that leadership for greater impact. To achieve full credit for the project, you must engage with a local non-profit organization or develop your own project to impact others, but you must engage others with you on the project. For example, say you volunteer somewhere; invite 4 friends to volunteer with you. That is leveraging your leadership for greater impact. Or do a project where you go and engage many others, thus leveraging your efforts for greater impact.

  Paper Content Guidelines:  Your paper must be no longer or shorter than one page, divided into 3 sections as noted below and demonstrated in the sample project, each beginning with the BOLD headings below and responding to the following elements:

  Section #1 – Challenge Idea: Section #1 of your paper is to describe your idea.

  Section #2 – Implementation Process: In Section #2, explain the process of taking the action and the anticipated impact your action will have.

  Section #3 – Summary: In Section #3, explain who benefited from your challenge, whether you were successful and how this challenge changed your view or attitude toward helping others. It is very important to discuss what you have gotten out of this (what you learned about yourself).

  Paper Mechanics/Deliverable Guidelines:

  1. Title: CHANGE OUR WORLD CHALLENGE
  2. Page 1 (one page, no more, no fewer) – paper as described above; optional Page 2 – one challenge picture as described above
  3. A type-written, electronic document (single-spaced, 0 pt. between lines); must be .doc/.docx only
  4. Margins from 0.5 to 1 inch are acceptable (all 4 sides) – do not use the default margins
  5. Written in first person (I, me, we, us, myself, etc.) – tell us your thoughts
  6. Times New Roman or Calibri font
  7. Font size of 11 or 12 point
  8. Bold headings for all three sections as noted above
  9. Grammar and spelling are always important – please check both
