Final Project – Stage One

Hide Assignment InformationTurnitin™This assignment will be submitted to Turnitin™.Instructions

For the Final Project, you will select at least one film that represents your career or career goals.  For example, if you are working toward a cybersecurity degree or already working in an IT field, you could choose a film that relates to Artificial Intelligence, such as A.I., Her, or M3gan.  If you are a business major, a film such as The Big Short, Wolf of Wall Street, How to Succeed in Business Without Even Trying, or Moneyball.  Your project can either be a paper or a presentation (such as a narrated PowerPoint or video essay).  

This is both an analysis and research essay.  You will examine the film(s) and discuss how it relates to your field: how accurate is it, does it present a positive or negative view, does it offer insights into the field?   How does the film use the production elements we have discussed (direction, cinematography, production design, sound, editing, and acting) to convey its theme? 

Research reviews and analysis of the film to see how others view it.  Include articles and analysis from people in the field as well as outside of the field.

The Final Project is broken up into three stages:

• Stage One – due at the end of Week Three
• Stage Two – due at the end of Week Five
• Stage Three – due at the end of Week Seven
