Question.304 - Film Art: Instructions for Film Analysis Paper #1 For this first analysis paper, students are to choose any film they wish, watch it in its entirety and?choose ONE pivotal scene in the film to analyze.?The scene should be anywhere from two-to-five-minutes in length. Longer scenes can be very challenging to analyze in a short paper such as?this,?so choose wisely. Remember that you do not necessarily have to choose a film you like.?Instead, choose a film that you are passionate about in order?to fuel your writing.?Here are the basic requirements for the assignment: 1.)?Analysis paper must be submitted in .doc, .docx, or .pdf format and accessible.?Other formats (.odt, .dotx, Google Docs, are just a few examples)?will NOT be accepted?and will earn a ZERO for the assignment.?Analysis paper documents that are corrupted or?otherwise inaccessible will also receive?a ZERO for the assignment. 2.)?Analysis paper must contain content that is solely the students original work?and not from a previous assignment. Any brief quotations or concepts?from outside?sources must be properly attributed (any citation style is fine).?Content that is NOT solely the students original work, is from a previous?assignment,?and DOES NOT attribute work from outside sources is considered plagiarism.?Submission of plagiarized work will result in a ZERO for the?assignment.?Other possible penalties are the designation of a?F or FF for the course. ?3.)?A word count must be provided either in the heading or at the end of the paper?and be accurate.?Analysis papers with falsified word counts, especially?actual word?counts that are well?below the word count provided, will result in a ZERO for the assignment. 4.)?The minimum word count for the assignment is 250 words (no more than 500 words). 5.) In addition to the?name of the chosen film, its?director, and the year it was made, use the introductory paragraph to succinctly describe the scene.?The bulk of the writing?must be dedicated to analysis, NOT SIMPLY RECOUNTING THE SCENE. A good paper will talk about WHY the scene is?successful or unsuccessful?and HOW tools are being used by the filmmakers to make it so (and by "tools" I mean things like cinematography or sound).?
