Examine the use of mental subjectivity – where parts of the film are told through one character’s
POV (point-of-view) – as in Spirit of the Beehive (Víctor Erice, 1973)

Develop a sophisticated argument that is substantive, specific, and contestable;
support your argument through a close, insightful analysis

When you first introduce a film title you should then follow it with the name of the director and the year it was released in parentheses. Each paragraph should start with a Topic Sentence which introduces your main point in that paragraph. You then use several more Support Sentences to fully flesh this idea out and unpack it for the reader. Then after that you can bring in a specific scene or aspect from the film as an example to illustrate your point. Film Analysis Essays should use a declarative thesis statement
