Requirements:
1. Choose one work (i.e. one screendance, one ad, one film, one number from a reality or one
episode series TV show, or a small, coherent compilation from social media).
2. The analysis must employ basic film/video terminology (shot types, dolly, cut, montage etc.).
3. The analysis must address relevant format conventions (as discussed in lectures & readings).
4. The analysis must address the choreography or movement, providing some sense of the
actions performed through description. Do not rely on dance terminology. Use general language
to convey information about the kind of movement performed. To support your analysis, include
concise examples from the scene/number, writing in clear, vivid language that allows your reader
to “see” what you’re describing

5. Must cite at least two (2) of the assigned readings and at least two (2) sources from your
annotated bibliography.
6. Must use Turabian/Chicago style endnotes/bibliography formatting. I will post a PDF of
presentation slides that give instructions, plus a video version that talks through the instructions
and demonstrates. Bibliography should be typed as a separate document.
Note:
Word choices convey value systems, so think about how language “flavors” your analysis and how it
holds the potential to shape how your viewer imagines the number/film and responds to your analysis and
supporting description.
Formatting

• Typed drafts should be typed:
o 12 pt. Times or Times New Roman font and double-spaced with 1-inch margins on all
four sides.
o Your name should be single-spaced in the upper right-hand corner of the page.
o Title: Paper II, followed by your paper title, centered, single-spaced.
• Write in college-level, academic English with attention to how word choice, grammar, mechanics,
syntax, punctuation, and organization support clarity of expression/meaning.
• This paper is an essay with a 1 to 3 paragraph introduction that introduces the paper topic (film and
scene/number), provides basic background (director, choreographer, premier year), & your argument.
o Organize the paper in coherent paragraphs that develop and support your argument.
o Close the paper with a concise conclusion that sums up the argument and offers possibilities
for future consideration

 

 

 

 

Solution

The Chicago musical is a film that was released in 2002, even though this is not the only one of the films that have been created based on the 1924 murderers Beulah Annan and Belva Gaertner. The stories of these two women were reported by Maurine Dallas Watkins, who later then wrote a play in 1926. Chicago the musical follows the lives of various women but focuses on Velma and Roxie, who both killed their partners and met in prison.
