Please use narrow margins on all pages and have 4 complete pages of work plus a reference page. The “Techniques in Practice” section of this chapter on The Godfather mentions the parallel editing of the film’s climax between the baptism and the execution of the opposing Mafia families. View this scene and discuss how collage and timing both play an important role in establishing the metaphors this scene conveys. Bear in mind that the parallel editing used here was not part of the originally planned production sequence. Coppola decided to use this technique while the film was in post-production.

Other Hints for final paper 1) give your essay a title. 2) Don’t say in your first paragraph, “This is what I’m going to do.” Just do it. Your title and well-defined thesis will tell the reader what you’re doing. 3) make sure your final paragraph relates to the thesis stated in your opening paragraph. Don’t end on a quote from someone else-use your own words. 4) Give credit where credit is due; plagiarism is the unacknowledged use of someone else’s words or ideas. There are several forms for crediting sources: Footnotes, endnotes, etc. Use whichever form you are comfortable with, but be consistent. 5) Additional viewings of the film or films that you’re writing about will bring greater depth to your insights. 6) Make your essay matter to you. 7) Do not use First Person such as: I Think, I Feel, In My Opinion, etc. 8) Do not make your argument broad. The more you focus the better your paper becomes. 9) Do not over use quotes. If there is direct quote/s put them between quotation marks: “Such, such, such, and such.” (Name, P. 259). 10) If you use someone else’s idea to develop your own, you do not need to mention it throughout your paper. Just a complete list of reference/s in your endnotes will be sufficient. List all of the sources you are using. 11) If you are quoting from online source/s, cut and paste the web address in front of the quote plus page number if possible. 12) Please use the space of your paper properly. Do not leave any empty space/s. 13) Try to cover both the aesthetics (style) and the theme. 14) Do not re-tell the story or historical facts to the point that it might dominate your entire paper. 15) Try to go beyond the obvious. Dig in as much as possible for impossible. 16) make sure your paper has your name on it!!!! 17) There is a huge difference between having a conversation and writing an essay. Make sure you understand this as well. The number of sources are up to you does not truly matter
