Write a Profile
You need to wrote a 500+ word biographical sketch of a film director. Your sketch should provide an overview of the director’s life and film career. A “Filmography” and “Works Consulted List” should be part of your analysis. However, these two sections are not part of the minimum required words. You should have citations from a variety or sources.
No Duplicates
You may not write on a director whose profile has been published or is in the process of being published. You may also not on the same director as one of your colleagues.
In order to avoid duplicates, as soon as you decide on the director whom you want to profile, post his/her name in the subject line of a posting in “Forum 8: Director Profiles.” After you have completed your research and written your profile, you will be able to add the content to the to your posting.
Grading
You may earn up to 50 points for your biographical sketch. You will be graded on the completeness of your profile and quality of your research. As always, mentions of films should link to the film or the description of the film in the Internet Movie Dabase.
