Write a paper about cinema and how the course material helped you better understand it. Unlike Paper One, this does not have to be thesis-driven. Write clear and focused paragraphs, and use transitions to indicate a change in subject.
–Describe and analyze specific films and film scenes, both films watched for class and films watched on your own.
–Quote from The History of Cinema at least once, using a direct quote to highlight something you learned from the book that helped you better understand or appreciate cinema.
–Quote from Hollywood: A Very Short Introduction at least once, using a direct quote to highlight something you learned from the book that helped you better understand or appreciate cinema.
“Double Count” Option
You can have this assignment also count as the Week 5 or Week 6 writing assignment. To do this, the paper should fulfill the requirements of the other assignment–it should discuss the “long film” at length to fulfill the Week 5 assignment; or it should discuss both Eraserhead and the New German Cinema film you watched to fulfill the Week 6 assignment. Simply upload the same paper for both assignments.
