Guidance notes:
- At least one of the films discussed in your essay must be a set film from the module. You may choose two from the weekly screenings or you may prefer to select your second film from the lists of recommended viewing (see module handbook). Please ask your seminar tutor to approve your choice of films.
- These are general topics. Successful essays will develop a specific argument and defined area of focus based on the two films and the critical materials you use. You should give your essay a title that reflects the films you have chosen and the issues you are exploring.
- Essays should draw on a range of reading from the module and beyond. Good essays will demonstrate a process of research that goes beyond the core texts for the module. Remember to consult the ‘further reading’ lists in the module handbook.
- When analysing films in detail, you should pay attention to questions of cinematic form where appropriate.
- Try to pay equal attention to each of the two films you analyse.
- Please format essays in 1.5 space, 12pt font. Film titles should be formatted in italics. You should choose a referencing system (e.g. Harvard, Chicago) and use it consistently. Please attach a bibliography and filmography to the end of the essay.
