This is a reflective essay. The directions must be followed VERY carefully because if I do not pass this paper, I fail the class.
I will attach the online book for you to reference. The book is the ONLY thing I want for citations and references.
43 SOURCES REQUIRED!!!!!!
Just a side note, he said you can cover each film within 2-3 sentences.
Instructions from Professor: Using all 43 films you were assigned to watched at home or in class, plus the 3-5 more you were asked to write your term paper about, write an essay of no more than 1000 words that explains what you have learned from your study of the history of cinema.
If it is helpful to you in order to think of your audience for this essay … imagine you had been paid to take this class in someone else’s place, or one of your classmates somehow stood a mathematical chance of passing without having done any work until the final — (they wouldn’t) — how would you explain to them what they needed to understand? If your parents were demanding a justification for why they paid the amount per credit hour for a History of Cinema class, what could you tell them you learned? (Whether or not they’d be convinced by the argument, make the case).
Please write your essay in fluid, mechanically polished, grammatically correct, active present tense, third-person objective voice. You may find it useful to compose this essay in a 3rd party word processor or an online tool such as Grammarly. You are encouraged to do so. You need not write your essay as a linear chronological history, but it may or may not help you.
Your responses will be assessed on your ability to highlight substantive understanding of the Artistic, Cultural, OR Technological contributions for each film you cite, deploy textual evidence for your points, and the overall depth, detail, rigor, and structural clarity of your essay.
You will reflect the following films to the following chapters. EACH FILM MUST TALK ABOUT HOW IT has artistic, cultural, OR technological contributions as well as it MUST reference the book: The book link is:
