Select a film that you have access to and that intrigues, inspires, or motives you. I have provided a list of potential films or you may propose a film for approval. Film List Film selection is due on 11/3.
Film Analysis Worksheet
As you view the movie, you will need to take notes and be considering FOUR CONCEPTS from the movie that exemplify concepts that we are learning about in class. You need to have read your textbook (Chapters 1-5) and be thinking about some of the ideas on those chapters and how they apply to the movie you chose.
The purpose of the movie analysis theory paper is to:
Demonstrate your understanding of intercultural communication theory and concepts
Apply intercultural communication theory and concepts to scenes and characters in the movie
Apply these same intercultural communication theory and concepts to your own relationships and experiences
Plan on selecting four (4) general or specific theories, concepts, or key words from the first five chapters in our textbook. In addition, you’ll provide a brief summary or synopsis of the movie so that your reader has a general idea of the overall story.
Be sure to boldface the use of the concept that you’re using, along with an in-text citation of the text with page number. Be sure to introduce and describe how the concept is being used rather than “dumping” the information and expecting the reader to infer your intended use. For example:
Although the two main characters were in love with one another, their nonverbal communication rarely indicated support for this supposition. Indeed, rather than the expected love-intimacy touch (McCornack, 2015, p. 164) conveying deep emotional feelings, the couple seemed to use only functional-professional touch (McCornack, 2015, p. 164), like shaking hands or guiding them down stairs, which seemed quite awkward for a romantic couple. (This example is 63 words.)
Thus, your paper should be in the following form, using APA standards and formatting:
Title Page
Synopsis (150-250 words, paraphrased in your own words. I regularly review Wikipedia, so don’t plagiarize!)
Concept 1 – be sure to include (at least 125 words):
Boldfaced concepts with –in-text citations and page numbers
Application of those concepts to the book
Concept 2 – be sure to include (at least 125 words):
Boldfaced concepts with –in-text citations and page numbers
Application of those concepts to the book
Concept 3 – be sure to include (at least 125 words）:
Boldfaced concepts with –in-text citations and page numbers
Application of those concepts to the book
Concept 4 – be sure to include (at least 125 words):
Boldfaced concepts with –in-text citations and page numbers
Application of those concepts to the book
Do not simply recount what happens in the movie. Honestly, I don’t care about the movie. I care about how you’re applying the concepts to the relationships in the movie and to your own relationships. If you’re just describing what happens in the movie without making conceptual connections with examples and illustrations, you’re not “doing it right.” Your paper should be more concerned with how the concept applies to specific examples or scenes within the movie rather than the story of the movie.
Select from the following chapters. Look for the key terms in the Chapter Review section of each chapter. Choose concepts from four (4) different chapters to apply to the movie and to your own relationships. Choose wisely, as you’re looking for similarities between the book and yourself. Remember that these concepts often have multiple parts and principles, so be sure to explain in your paper what aspects of the concepts you’re applying.
Chapter 1: The Necessity of Intercultural Communication
Chapter 2: The Cultural Context
Chapter 3: The Microcultural Context
Chapter 4: The Environmental Context
Chapter 5: The Perceptual Context
