Case Study: Find a way into the film by examining an element that you believe is crucial to your making meaningfrom the experience of viewing it. The following compilation of questions is meant to help spark your ideas. One of these questions is sufficient for your 2-page mini-essay.Your essay should be analysis and not summary. Break down the movie into parts that support your overall framework or argument and then synthesize these parts into a coherent whole. Answer the question "So what?" or why does this matter in the world (or at least the world of cinema).Alternatively, construct your own framework for the mini-essay on something that sparks your interest.Discuss it with the class or with me to be sure that you are on the right track to a viable essay.

These are general frameworks for structuring your essay:

Question 1. What elements of cinema are at play, and how do they enhance or distract from the overall goal?

Question 2. How does the subject matter make a difference? What is the "so what" or why does the director present the content in the way that he/she does? How does it matter in the world? Include the context of the movie, the place and time it was made.

Question 3. Does the movie fit into the national cinema from which it was made? How do you think others might perceive it? How was it received on the world stage?
