Establishing Theme. Select a movie
from AFI’s 10 Top 10 lists and explain how three cinematic techniques and/or
design elements have helped establish a major theme in that film.
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 do the elements work together?
§ How congruent the design elements are with the theme of the movie?
§ Whether or not other techniques would be as effective (Explain your reasoning).
Note: According to Goodykoontz and
Jacobs (2011), “A theme is an idea, subject, or topic of some kind that
pervades the plot” (section 2.4, para. 1). As the authors explain, “It is not
so much what „happens,‟ but rather what the movie is „about,‟ part of the
meaning you are expected to take away from the work” (section 2.4, para. 1).
Your paper should be organized
around a thesis statement that focuses on how the elements of your chosen
feature-length film both establish
and maintain one of its major themes.
The paper must be 800 to 1200 words
in length and formatted according to APA style as outlined in the Ashford
Writing Center. You must use at least two scholarly sources other than the
textbook to support your claims. Cite your sources within the text of your
paper and on the reference page. For information regarding APA, including
samples and tutorials, visit the Ashford Writing Center, located within the Learning
Resources tab on the left navigation toolbar, in your online course.
Please note that if you opt to write
about the same film in your Final Film Critique, applicable pieces of this
assignment can be used to write that assignment. Please also note that you
should reflect on and revise this assignment based on the instructor’s feedback
before you incorporate it into the Final Film Critique.
