Now that you’ve watched a horror movie, and taken notes, it’s time to write a film analysis. In the analysis, you draw a conclusion about how well the movie appeals to the psychological needs of the viewer while fulfilling the criteria of the genre. Use the following outline to plan your analysis. Introduction Provide some brief background information on your film: Who directed it? When was it made? How was it received by critics and audiences? You can usually find all this information on the Internet Movie Database. End this paragraph with your evaluation of the movie by answering this question: How well did the movie appeal to the viewer’s psychological needs while fulfilling the criteria of the genre? Think back to what you learned from the “Stephen King on Fear” essay, the Psychology of Fear note, and the “Scared Witless” article, as well as your note on the three genres of horror. Body Paragraph 1  Briefly summarize the plot of the movie and identify which genre of horror it belongs to. Provide specific examples from the movie to support your claim. Body Paragraph 2  Discuss three specific examples from your graphic organizer that you think did a good job at helping to tell the story. Make sure you’re using the correct film terminology when discussing the elements of film. Body Paragraph 3  Discuss any examples from the film that you thought did not do a good job at helping to tell the story. Body Paragraph 4  Explain how this film would appeal to psychological needs of the viewer. Make specific reference to at least one of your readings from this unit.

Technical Requirements: Length: Approximately 4-5 pages, double-spaced Format: Times New Roman, 12-point font, 1- or 1¼-inch marginsBibliography: In this essay, you are only responsible for citing the textbook, but you may also cite the recommended readings posted on D2L. Use the Chicago Manual of Style (other formatsare acceptable as long as students remain consistent.) Film Art An Introduction, 11th Edition by David Bordwell, Kristin Thompson, Jeff Smith In this final essay, students will get the chance to further develop their understanding of the key formal elements discussed in the lectures and tutorials: mise-en-scene, cinematography, editing,and sound. Choose one of the following topics:  1.Compare and contrast the use of two formal elements in one of the films screened inclass. How do these elements work in tandem to guide the spectator’s attention, to create a mood or emotional affect, and to clarify or obscure our interpretation of narrative events and the film’s themes? 2.Compare and contrast one formal element in two films screened in class. What is theoverall function of the formal element you have chosen in the two films under discussion? Can the differences between the two films help us understand the range of a certain kind of filmmaking (classical Hollywood cinema, for example) or the differences between types of filmmaking (experimental cinema versus documentary,for example)? Format Once you have chosen your topic, it is a good idea to make an outline that will guide your introductory paragraph, body paragraphs, and conclusion. In your introductory paragraph, you want to establish exactly what you are going to argue in the essay. Avoid shapeless generalizations, such as “Mise-en-scène is an important component of cinematic style”, and, instead, focus in on the task at hand. For example, you might begin with something like, “This essay will analyze the interaction between mise-en-scène and editing in Kátia Lund’s City of God (2002).” From here, you might describe how the film adapts its camera work, colour scheme, and editing strategies to represent the different phases in the life of the favela. In the remainder of the introductory paragraph, you should map out which scenes and formal concernsyou intend to focus on to best illustrate your case.In the body paragraphs of your essay, you have the freedom to analyze your chosen film or films in the way you think will best illustrate your case. For example, if you were to analyze editing in Vertigo (1958) and Blue Velvet (1986), you could explore the use of continuity editing in both films. You could then analyze the unique ways in which Hitchcock and Lynch deploy the techniques of the continuity system, such as the eye-line match, as they also reveal Hollywood cinema’s tendencies toward perversion and voyeurism. As you write these  paragraphs, think of yourself as a lawyer, making sure that your descriptions help to demonstrate your initial thesis. In the concluding paragraph, you want to reiterate your thesis, and also make a broader conclusion about the film practices you’ve chosen to discuss. In the case of Gimme Shelter (1970), for example, you might emphasize how, despite its claims to “fly on the wall observation”, documentary filmmaking always influences the events before the camera and places these events within a rhetorical perspective. A few formal notes: ?Film titles should be underlined or placed in italics with the year of production in brackets the first time you mention the film: Rear Window (1954)?When using a director’s name, use their full name the first time, and only their last name every time after that?Essay titles should be placed in quotations: Linda Williams, “Mirrors without Memories”?Book titles should be underlined or placed in italics: Film Art: An Introduction, Eleventh Edition?Please cite all of your references using an accepted academic format, such as MLA or Chicago Style.
