Heres A Clarification Of How I Want the Critical Essay To Be Submitte

Here's a clarification of how I want the Critical Essay to be su bmitted . I'd like a copy via email as I always need the digital copy. It should be double spaced with your name and section at the top left. Observe the required page number and if you use anything, including quotes, from the texts or articles, cite them within the body of the paper and on a Works Cited page. You don't need to use MLA style if you're already familiar with or are required to use another style such as APA for another course.

But this is not a research paper and I'm looking for your analysis and opinion of a film or films we've seen in class or that are on the required or recommended lists I've already provided for you. You can discuss just one element of a film or compare films but I recommend that you stay narrow. For example, you can write about how deep focus was used in Citizen Kane by Welles and Toland to illustrate the relationships between characters or to set a mood and atmosphere that also help us to understand the narcissistic and obsessive-compulsive nature of Kane. Or how Casablanca represents the the glory of the Hollywood Classical Studio System at its sometimes accidental best. 8 to 10 pages i need it in 12 hr pls do not write a review i need analysis and opinion of a film

Paper For Above instruction

This critical essay evaluates a film discussed in class, focusing on a specific element to analyze its significance in shaping the film's narrative, mood, or themes. The student should produce an 8 to 10-page analysis, providing their interpretation and opinion, rather than a simple review. The paper must be double-spaced, with the author's name and section at the top left, and adhere to the required formatting guidelines, including page numbers. Citations must be included within the text and on a Works Cited page, using a style such as APA or MLA, depending on the student’s familiarity or course requirements. A digital copy is to be emailed for submission.

The focus of the essay should be narrow, centering on a single element or a comparative analysis of two films. For example, a detailed analysis of how deep focus technique in "Citizen Kane" by Orson Welles and Gregg Toland reveals character relationships and psychological insights, or exploring how "Casablanca" exemplifies the Hollywood Classical Studio System’s grandeur and inadvertent artistry. The goal is to demonstrate a nuanced understanding of cinematic techniques or history, supported by scholarly references and critical analysis.

The student should avoid a general review; instead, they should present a reasoned interpretation rooted in film analysis, supported by credible sources. This assignment emphasizes thoughtful insights into cinematic elements—such as cinematography, mise-en-scène, editing, or narrative techniques—and their impact on the viewer’s understanding of the film’s themes.
