Some reminders when you are writing your film papers or any formal essay/analysis for any English, Creative Writing, or Humanities courses:
- Italicize titles of major or full length works
- Quote titles of shorter pieces (poems under 1000 lines, short stories under 50 pages, short films under an hour, television show episodes, essays, articles in newspapers or magazines, 10-minute or one act plays, etc.)
- Introductions should generally start with a hook, followed by a lead-in, followed by your thesis.
- Your thesis should be concise, well written, and usually contain an arguable position.
- Periods go at the ends of sentences. Sentences should not contain so much information as to make them confusing. Separate ideas into clear and concise statements.
- Use transitions between ideas or paragraphs.
- Use the vocabulary I am teaching you regarding film (narratology, for example)
