For this assignment you will write your media analysis essay. You are required to submit only your final draft for this assignment (though we encourage all students to take advantage of the additional feedback a draft can provide). Use the grader?s feedback and the rubric to make revisions to your draft before submitting the final. Your second draft will be graded.
For this media analysis, you will analyze how one part affects the whole media production. To do so, you will choose one of the following parts to explore:
?Genre: Explain how the production you chose fits into its genre.
?Camera: Analyze how the camera?s use affects the overall production.
?Lighting: Describe how lighting is used to enhance or detract from the production.
?Actors/Characters: Analyze how the actors OR the characters themselves enhance or detract from the production.
?Symbols: Explain what the symbols are and how their usage affects the overall production.
?Music: Describe how the music enhances or detracts from the media production.
?Sound Effects: Analyze how the sound effects enhance or detract from the production.
?Special Effects: Explain what special effects are used and how they affect the viewing experience.
?Comparison to a Literary Work: (Note: This option may only be chosen if the film you chose is also in print form.) How are the book and film similar? How are they different? Which is better, and why?
Your purpose in this assignment is to explain how or why something works; therefore, you should not include a summary of the media production except for the introductory paragraph if you so choose. The body of the essay must focus on your analysis, and you can use the ideas contained in the Media Analysis lesson presentation and/or the Straighterline?s Writer?s Handbook chapter (?Film and Television Analysis?) to help you.CLICK HERE TO GET MORE.........
As with all college writing, your essay should have a strong thesis statement in addition to an introduction, body, and conclusion.
External sources, other than your chosen film, television show, and/or book, are not required for this essay. However, if you use specific information from the media production and/or print source, such as a quotation, you should include a Works Cited page and proper parenthetical citations or signal phrases.Since it will be nearly impossible to write an analysis without quoting, paraphrasing, or summarizing your text, be sure to include MLA documentation and a Works Cited page for this assignment.CLICK HERE TO GET MORE.........
