Order Description
The conceptual framework for this essay is the evolution and/or phenomenon of cinema, reflecting on the transformation of material (technology), aesthetics, culture, and modes of experience. You may incorporate any material on the course, including all material archived in the online learning object.
You need to incorporate analysis of at least two films set as primary screenings in the unit.
This email should gesture toward:
• A basic thesis line – what will this essay be arguing? At this stage, your thesis line might be somewhat speculative.
• A list of primary sources – film texts/images.
• A list of 4-5 secondary sources that will inform the development of your
argument.
Note that you can’t reproduce material from previous assessment work. You may draw on sources previously incorporated in assessments 1 and 2, but this material, formulated within an argument for assessment 3, should be substantively different. Feel free to check with your tutor on this issue.
