1. Define hegemonic masculinity as it relates to this film. 2. Your claim should claim something. What is this new way of thinking? 3. Use an analytical description to demonstrate that he is the agent of power in this sequence. Don’t rely on the reader to look at the time stamp and see what you see. It’s up to you to prove the point. Also, Mike is not so much expressing sexual desire as enacting desire. He’s playing a role on stage. 4. This isn’t really an argument but a simple description. Rather than engage superficially with several peer-reviewed texts, engage substantively with two. 5. What is Tsai’s argument? 6. These are all generalizations without support. 7. What is Waling’s argument? 8. This is all so generic it could describe any film. You need analytical descriptions to demonstrate what you see at work in this film. 9. I’m not sure what you mean here. 10. What are Ettari and Burt’s arguments? 11. What is Messerschmidt’s argument? 12. Use the they say/I say approach that we covered in class. 13. What is Tasker’s argument? 14. Follow the style guide I distributed. It is available in canvas. 15. What is Dyer’s argument?

Analyze and critique The Gold Rush. Craft a paper in which you create an analysis of the film’s story and how it is presented cinematographically. The point here is to offer your own analytical insights after critically viewing a film. This should be a 3 page paper, not including the Works Cited page. 
Refer to the readings and sample essays in Gocsik and Monahan to help you with this first writing assignment.
Refer to the Glossary to help you with your analysis. (The Glossary can be found under Course Menu in the navigation bar.)
Remember that your analysis needs a thesis sentence to focus your insights around a central idea. For examples of analytical thesis sentences, review Thesis Characteristics in the Empire State University Online Writing Center. You may also wish to use the Creating Your Thesis resource.
Do not write a literary analysis, nor merely retell the story.
Remember your research from the first module regarding good vs. bad research!
Always use proper academic formatting and a scholarly approach to your assignments.
Check spelling, grammar and mechanics.
Write film titles properly in your paper; use italics or, in this course, you may also underline the name of a film.
All papers should be 12 pt. type, double spaced.
All of your Written Assignments must include at least two scholarly sources AND must include direct reference to your learning from the Belton and/or Corrigan texts assigned for each module.
All of your research research (scholarly or non-scholarly sources) and any ideas you got from from course texts MUST be cited in all of your written work using MLA, APA, or Chicago Style. Written work without proper referencing will be returned. Work in which you present the ideas of other people as your own ideas without quotation marks and in-text citations will receive a failing grade.
If you have questions about this, please do not hesitate to reach out and schedule a time to meet with me.
Remember you can use the Ongoing Film Discussion area to help you expand your thinking and share your ideas.
Review the course Syllabus (Written Assignment section) and Tips for Stronger Papers to provide you with further information about essay expectations.

According to scholar Susan Napier, Nausicaa is an empowered young girl hero: she combines traits traditionally associated with masculinity, such as physical power and scientific and mechanical abilities, with traits traditionally associated with femininity, such as aesthetic appreciation, compassion and motherliness. Thus, one view would be that Nausicaa is a character who breaks traditional gender boundaries and expectations. But another view might be that she does not actually break gender boundaries and expectations but rather, reinforces them. Which do you agree with? Explain with examples from the film, such as Nausicaa’s representation, actions, scenes, plot points, etc.

This is a 500 – 750 word* assignment where you will make a focused, researched argument based on one of the questions listed below:
Promt:
Both Blood Quantum and Atlantics present para- and post-colonial zombie/possession narratives that critique not only larger colonial systems but intra-communal violences — patriarchal and misogynist violences in particular. Choose one of these films and select a scene that captures some of these nuances. How do the directors develop visual, sonic or formal queues to support the political or social themes they’re developing? Remember to choose a reading from the syllabus when building your thesis.
You are required to:
Have a thesis statement that states your argument, the conceptual frameworks or terms you’re using and the scene you’ve chosen to focus on in a clear and concise manner.
Discuss one scene of the film you’ve chosen that demonstrates your argument particularly well.
Although you should only discuss one scene of the film, you are required to watch the film in full and you must demonstrate that you know the basic facts of the film, filmmaker and the period in which the film was created.  You should be able to identify the actors and the names of the characters they are playing, if relevant.  
Discuss one formal quality of this sequence. [Example: mise-en-scene, lighting, sound, composition, editing, frame rate, deep focus, camera movement] *Please note, if you are not a film major, you are responsible for consulting the resources listed below and reaching out to schedule a meeting during office hours ahead of time in order to address questions and concerns.
Include one sources from the course reading materials. You should demonstrate that you understand the concepts and points of the reading, using direct quotes and summarizing their meaning in your own words.
Demonstrate a clear understanding of how your argument fits into the historical, cultural or social context of this film. You should consult lecture materials, course readings and supplemental readings.
*All written work will be double-spaced, written in Times New Roman 12-point, and use standard margins. Proofread your work for grammatical and spelling errors. 
*Essays longer than 750 words will be penalized 1 point for each word over the limit. If you can’t make your argument in the space provided, reduce the scope of your argument.
Each assignment will also have a correctly formatted works cited page that includes citations for any films and texts cited, paraphrased, or consulted.  All written work will use current MLA formatting for analysis essays including in-text parenthetical citations.
