English: Genres and film styles

Your research paper will take up any of the main types of genres or film styles that we have encountered in this course: Western, Blaxploitation, Kung-fu, Crime or Heist Films, Detective film or Film Noir, War films, etc. You may design the structure of the paper, but you should do the following in it: present your genre and its history, using secondary sources; present the two films that you will discuss with an original thesis; present primary source material on the film’s histories and receptions; and secondary sources of criticism; perform an original close reading or textual analysis of at least one scene; relate the films to each other or to the genre as a whole with your unique viewpoint presented. At least one of your films must be considered a classic example of the genre (therefore, older), but the other can be an updated contribution to the genre or even a remake.

Outlining exercise.

I previously gave you a SAMPLE outline that you may use to pattern your paper (this is on black board under the Research Paper Guidelines).YOU DO NOT HAVE TO USE THIS MODEL, BUT IT MIGHT HELP SOME OF YOU. It looks like this:

Introduction,including Thesis + Trajectory line
Defining the genre and the History of the Genre.

Pivot/Transition to consider two films

History and Reception of Film 1
History and Reception of Film 2
Scene reading/shot by shot analysis from Film 1

Scene reading shot by shot analysis from Film 2
Comparison of Film 1 and Film 2

Overview (May mention other films you’ve watched here, too.)
Conclusion.

Your previously submitted reception study and your shot by shot analysis can be used (as parts 4, 5, 6, or 7) but only provided that they make sense within the longer context of your paper. However, you must revise them from the version you previously submitted and integrate all work appropriately with transitions and signposting.

Use this series of questions, drawing your answers from research you do in class today and that you’ve previously done, to guide your construction of a more detailed paper outline. (If you discover new sources while doing this exercise, make sure to make a note of where you found that information for your citations.)
