Your paper must thoroughly address:
1. how the film does or does not adhere to Thompson’s 4 Principles;
2. how it establishes and develops character, the character arc(s), and the conflict and its relationship to the characters;
3. and must include an attempt to apply the 3-Act Paradigm to the film’s structure – or must explore how the film deliberately undermines any of these expectations.
Grade “A” papers will also include intelligent insights into the film’s narrative, will be well written with a clear thesis statement and strong supporting arguments, will show research and thought, and will be proofread and free of spelling and grammatical errors.
