The first step of any research is: identify your topic.
Read extensively about your topic, trying to understand the position of different scholars in that specific discourse, as well as the main aspects discussed. Your paper should cite at least 7 sources (primary and secondary) which will show the depth of your research.
Take notes while you view the primary and secondary sources included in your bibliography. to describe the status of previous scholarship on your topic.
Develop your own thesis. Considered the position of other writers, what is your own position? Do you agree/disagree with the interpretation of some of them? Can you contribute to a certain discussion by adding arguments that could reinforce another scholars’ perspective? Or, on the contrary, do you disagree with a scholar’s theory? What aspects have been underestimated by existing discourses?
Once you have developed your thesis, you must put it to the test. Take a distance and ask yourself: WHY is your thesis convincing and HOW does your argument work?
The answers to the questions at 5. will constitute your points of proof: the points on which you will base your essay. In the answers to the questions at n.5, bring as much evidence as possible. Ground your points in written and visual sources, bringing examples and discussing primary and secondary materials.
Imagine counter-arguments. How could your readers react to your essay? In what could they disagree with you? Discuss the counter-points. (when you organize your essay, you might insert the discussion of the counterpoints before the discussion of your own point, so you will conclude with a positive statement. That should reinforce your thesis).
Do not generalize. Do not use judgmental words. Try to use appropriate vocabulary. Please, use the Chicago Manual of Style for your Citations.

1. Identify two or three key aesthetic elements of the film (aspects of sound, mise-enscène, cinematography, editing, or narrative structure). First, describe the element(s) as precisely as you can. Use technical terms if you know them, and if you don’t, simply be as precise with your adjectives as you can be. Second, state how the aesthetics affect the story. For example, the same story may have quite a different impact in a slow-paced film than in a fast-paced film.
2. What aspect(s) of society/culture appear powerfully in the film? How does the film reflect on this/these aspect(s)? That is, what does the film teach you or have to say about particular social or cultural conditions or events? Give evidence of specific moments in the film.
3. Discuss the genre of the film (you can define genre however you want – documentary vs. fiction, detective film vs. rom-com, children’s vs. adult film, etc.). What are the key features of the film that make you categorize the film this way? Does it seem a typical example of its genre, or quite unusual? How so? You can but do not have to discuss other films that may have influenced or been influenced by this film. 4. What kind of an audience does the film appear to have been made for? For example, does it seem to be accessible to an international audience, or does it make assumptions that the audience will have certain, specific cultural or historical knowledge? Does it speak to all ages, or is it addressed specifically to adults? Does it address an audience with a lot of institutionalized education, or a less formally educated audience? Give evidence of specific moments in the film or specific aspects of the film.
