First make sure you’ve read Parts 1 and 2 of Book 1 of Aristotle’s Rhetoric, then watch the video clips in the module for this week. You will need to choose one video to base your essay on. This essay will be a modified Rhetorical Analysis using both the section of the Rhetoric and your chosen video. Please follow the outline below explicitly for your first essay. Your essay needs to be no less than 750 words, feel free to add additional paragraphs where you see fit.  This essay needs to be written in third person and follow current MLA style.  You must have developed paragraphs and a works cited page for this essay to receive credit in addition to following the outline listed below.  1st Paragraph: *Note this essay does not have a traditional introduction  Summarize Parts 1 and 2 of Book 1 of Aristotle’s Rhetoric. Make sure you cover the overall ideas presented in the text as well as the historical value of this text for our discipline. Feel free to incorporate additional sources to achieve this (just make sure you appropriately cite them). Then in your own words state why you feel this work is important and how it connects to the appeals: ethos, pathos, and logos. Use at least one quote from Aristotle’s work to justify your position.  2nd Paragraph:   Start by stating the video clip or clips you have chosen. Then in 2-3 developed sentences describe the video(s). [What is the content of the video? What is the face-value meaning? What audience is it trying to reach? Does it hold a greater meaning or importance?] Then state which appeal you feel is shown the strongest in the video clip (ethos, pathos, or logos). You need to explicitly and directly state this (I.e. In Legally Blonde 2, Elle Woods uses Pathos when arguing with Ethan.). Next, explain why you feel that way. In other words, justify your answer. You need to use at least three examples from the movie. Make sure you use appropriate citations for the source, both in-text and on the works cited page.   *This paragraph could theoretically be expanded into 2 paragraphs if that facilitates your organization better.   3rd Paragraph:   Next choose the other two appeals you did not use in previous paragraph. (I.e. if you chose pathos, you need to work on logos and ethos). We know all sound arguments utilize all three appeals. Apply these last two appeals to your video clip. Explain where they are used and how that supports the argument in the clip. These need to justified with evidence from the source (direct quotation or summarized segments from the video). You need at least one example for each appeal.  4th Paragraph:   For your last paragraph you will tie your two elements together. How is the argument presented in your video clip valid and strong according to Aristotle’s text? You need to directly state the argument presented in the video clip and break it down. Make sure this is explicitly clear to your reader. What makes it strong according to Aristotle’s text? (Note you will not discuss the culture or content of the movie, but the argument). Use at least two examples from Rhetoric to justify your reasoning.  Works Cited Page:   For your works cited page you need to have two sources cited. First you will have  Aristotle’s Rhetoric. You will follow the source for an on-line book. The next citation you will have is your movie clip. You will cite a youtube video.  These are both located in your MLA textbook.

Technical Requirements: Length: Approximately 4-5 pages, double-spaced Format: Times New Roman, 12-point font, 1- or 1¼-inch marginsBibliography: In this essay, you are only responsible for citing the textbook, but you may also cite the recommended readings posted on D2L. Use the Chicago Manual of Style (other formatsare acceptable as long as students remain consistent.) Film Art An Introduction, 11th Edition by David Bordwell, Kristin Thompson, Jeff Smith In this final essay, students will get the chance to further develop their understanding of the key formal elements discussed in the lectures and tutorials: mise-en-scene, cinematography, editing,and sound. Choose one of the following topics:  1.Compare and contrast the use of two formal elements in one of the films screened inclass. How do these elements work in tandem to guide the spectator’s attention, to create a mood or emotional affect, and to clarify or obscure our interpretation of narrative events and the film’s themes? 2.Compare and contrast one formal element in two films screened in class. What is theoverall function of the formal element you have chosen in the two films under discussion? Can the differences between the two films help us understand the range of a certain kind of filmmaking (classical Hollywood cinema, for example) or the differences between types of filmmaking (experimental cinema versus documentary,for example)? Format Once you have chosen your topic, it is a good idea to make an outline that will guide your introductory paragraph, body paragraphs, and conclusion. In your introductory paragraph, you want to establish exactly what you are going to argue in the essay. Avoid shapeless generalizations, such as “Mise-en-scène is an important component of cinematic style”, and, instead, focus in on the task at hand. For example, you might begin with something like, “This essay will analyze the interaction between mise-en-scène and editing in Kátia Lund’s City of God (2002).” From here, you might describe how the film adapts its camera work, colour scheme, and editing strategies to represent the different phases in the life of the favela. In the remainder of the introductory paragraph, you should map out which scenes and formal concernsyou intend to focus on to best illustrate your case.In the body paragraphs of your essay, you have the freedom to analyze your chosen film or films in the way you think will best illustrate your case. For example, if you were to analyze editing in Vertigo (1958) and Blue Velvet (1986), you could explore the use of continuity editing in both films. You could then analyze the unique ways in which Hitchcock and Lynch deploy the techniques of the continuity system, such as the eye-line match, as they also reveal Hollywood cinema’s tendencies toward perversion and voyeurism. As you write these  paragraphs, think of yourself as a lawyer, making sure that your descriptions help to demonstrate your initial thesis. In the concluding paragraph, you want to reiterate your thesis, and also make a broader conclusion about the film practices you’ve chosen to discuss. In the case of Gimme Shelter (1970), for example, you might emphasize how, despite its claims to “fly on the wall observation”, documentary filmmaking always influences the events before the camera and places these events within a rhetorical perspective. A few formal notes: ?Film titles should be underlined or placed in italics with the year of production in brackets the first time you mention the film: Rear Window (1954)?When using a director’s name, use their full name the first time, and only their last name every time after that?Essay titles should be placed in quotations: Linda Williams, “Mirrors without Memories”?Book titles should be underlined or placed in italics: Film Art: An Introduction, Eleventh Edition?Please cite all of your references using an accepted academic format, such as MLA or Chicago Style.
