The film of Casablanca from class.
The film of Shawshank Redemption, on my own research
In sympathy with Narrative Characters, by Alessandro Giovannelli. On my own research.
General Summary of What You Are to Do:
You will pick one film from those we have watched in class and one reading selection that was assigned to go along with that film. You will then write a paper based on this reading and film PLUS another film (that you choose and watch on your own). You will supplement the reading with an additional source that you research on your own that connects to the reading provided in some relevant way. This additional reading can be in philosophy, in film theory, in film criticism, or in cultural studies. If you are unsure whether or not a source you'd like to use will meet the requirements for this paper please email me for approval.
Clarification on acceptable sources:
1) One of the required sources used must be a reading assigned for class.
2) The second required source must be a primary source - which means that it must be by the original author and not a book about that author.
a. Website blogs, Wikipedia, etc. do not count as primary sources, although they may be used to guide your thinking provided you do not plagiarize from them. In general .edu sites for information on authors is better than .com sites. Also scholarly encyclopedia articles.
b. Good UD library search databases for articles in peer-reviewed, scholarly journals: EBSCO or JSTOR. Philosophy, literary theory, film theory and studies, and film criticism are all sub-fields from which you can choose sources.
Consult the paper due dates to make sure you do enough research ahead of time that you can obtain a needed source from OhioLink or ILL if needed.
