Crime Film Analysis with Critical Theme & Concept Illustrated in Film
Writing
Word length: 2000-3000 words (not including footnotes/bibliography)
You are to conduct an analysis of the film Roger and Me. In your analysis you will discuss what you believe are the critical themes and concepts that are illustrated in the film and that relate to issues and concepts from this class. You will have a lot of flexibility on this and I will address that in the notecast below. All of the materials you will need will be provided for you (directions on how to cite the given sources are below). This is not a “research” project this is an analysis of a film using the concepts and ideas from criminology and the social sciences, generally speaking.
There are two broad categories, ‘Thinkers’ and ‘Theories’, to choose from. Please review your specific instructions to determine how best to include these categories into your analysis in some manner. You are super strongly encouraged to watch the screencast below it will save you a LOT of time.
Papers are expected to meet the APA requirements of format and style. Students must cite the sources of all ideas, facts, and information used that are not their own, even if they have put the information into their own words. Failure to do so is plagiarism, even if the oversight is unintentional.
