Film analysis paper

 This is a 1500-2000 word (3-5 pages) film analysis. Follow the posted rubric for specifics on how it will be graded. Make sure you are meeting all requirements of the rubric. I have attached the rubric and the prompt in detail.

DEADLINE: DEC 11TH, 2020

The film that was chosen that you have to watch and analyze is Bonnie and Clyde (1967) I will also attach the prompt for the outline that you can send to me so I can send it to my professor for feedback. For the Categories of elements there are techniques/terms under those. If needed definition for it please do ask me so I can see if it is in my textbook. TWO categories of elements (narrative structure, cinematography, mise-en-scène, editing, sound)

Below is how the outline should be set up

I. SUMMARY of film (without spoiling the ending). One paragraph synopsis of film - not more than ½ to ¾ of a page.

II. THESIS

      A. State a theme of the film and

      B. the TWO categories of elements (narrative structure, cinematography, mise-en-scène, editing, sound) you will

          analyze to explain how well they do/do not support the theme.

      C. Thesis statement – how elements of form are used (successfully or not) to create meaning, and support theme.

III. ANALYSIS of the movie’s form. (THINK: What works well? What doesn't? How is it used to create meaning?)

       A. First category of elements

Technique one / scene where it's used / meaning created

Technique two / scene where it's used / meaning created

NOTE: Think about relation to theme

        B. Second category of elements
