At least one scene from the film. This scene can be one of the ones you represented in your exercises, or a new scene you’ve come to see as more appropriate given the ideas you are interested in exploring. This has to include 1 source leading into the film such as reviews and genre descriiption and 2 sources leading out of the film which includes well-written, academically-responsible accounts of a historical or cultural event or site represented in the film, information about one of the filmmakers’ preoccupations (a place, an artist, music, gardening, mapmaking, etc.), or the work of a filmmaker/author who influenced your filmmaker.
One paragraph where you introduce the film and its big-picture concerns, allowing your analysis to arrive at some version of your research question. My research question is ‘what does ‘Us’ reveal about the covered-up debacles of the past and how it gives context to the rising structural inequality in America.’
