Describe your research, film you have chosen for analysis, why and your method- how you will analyze the film. State your
Research Question based on the thesis you will develop with evidence from other scholars and your
film analysis. Film analysis should include analyses of the narrative, characters and relationships, direction, lighting and cinematography, music, sound and visual effects and other relevant elements of cinematic art, style and technique used to create your selected film.
Write detailed analysis of each scholars’ work and findings that inform your

Use the University Libraries Databases A-Z e-resource Communications and Mass Media articles index or other indices and select only academic (peer reviewed) journal, articles, full text only, and you can select years you wish to search.
