    ENGL1011 Research Essay 2016
    An essay is a genre of writing built on argument. In this essay, we want you to
    frame an original argument, engaging materials in the unit from your particular
    point of view. Of course, the idea of originality in essay writing does not refer
    to ideas that have never been considered. Rather, essays provide you with an
    opportunity to develop your own arguments, to read primary and secondary
    materials in critical ways, and to engage in your own analysis of texts in
    building your argument.
    However, while all essays are in this sense ‘original’ works, the research
    component refers to your ability to engage with the source materials we’ve
    discussed in this unit. Your engagement with source material will help to
    broaden your understanding of topics covered, and enrich your approach to
    analysis and argument. Scholarly materials enable you to ask more incisive
    questions about texts and contexts; they enable you to reflect on your own
    position, testing its validity; and perhaps most importantly, they enable you to
    support your claims with evidence.
    This is the basis of all research: an original position taken (argument)
    supported by research within the field. We would like to see you using
    required readings, as well as some additional reading.
    Essay Topics
    Please select one of the following as the basis for your argument. You must
    examine two films in your answer.
    Note: you cannot reproduce material covered in your first assignment.
    However, you are free to use any films discussed in your Reflective Journal
    as the basis for your Research Essay.
    1. Offer an analysis of two films set on this course that strategically subvert
    the audience’s expectations of genre form.
    2. In this unit, we’ve looked at film as a complex, highly collaborative artistic
    enterprise. To what extent then can film be thought of as the work of an
    ‘author’? Offer an analysis of Jean Luc Godard’s À Bout de Souffle
    (Breathless) and Sofia Coppola’s Marie Antoinette.
    3. Film positions its spectator; indeed, we could say that film is one of the
    profound vehicles for ideology of the twentieth century. Do you agree? Offer
    an analysis of Marie Antoinette and Casablanca.
    4. Cinema was established very early in its life as a narrative form. And yet,
    throughout the decades that followed, cinema entertained mass audiences
    with astonishing audio-visual spectacles. Offer an analysis of what Tom
    Gunning calls a ‘cinema of attractions’ in relation to Marie Antoinette and
    Hugo.
    5. “Kids don’t believe in movies anymore” – Martin Scorsese (Side by Side,
    2012). What does Scorsese mean? Is the digital cinematic age a cause for
    anxiety about the future of film?
    6. Offer a reading of film style in relation to Robert Wiene’s The Cabinet of Dr
    Caligari and one other film from Module 1. Consider each film as a ‘stylistic
    patterning’ of story and image content.
    7. Narrative is a process of storytelling. Offer an analysis of two set films as
    narrative ‘experiments.’ What about these narratives make them
    experimental? How do they depart from a narrative norm, or what Bordwell
    and Thompson call “classical narrative structure”?
    8. The screenwriter is responsible for creating a narrative to be
    filmed. However, as we've seen with the work of screenwriters such as
    Charles Kaufmann and Guillermo Arriaga, their screenplays go beyond story
    to create a document which "describes a film" through their specific selection
    of structure, metaphor and image. Can screenwriters be said to be directing
    the film from the page or are they filmmakers who share a vision with the
    director?
