Elements of the Research Paper
An Explicit Position [Does the film have value as a persuasive text? What is that value?]
A response to what others have said or done [Do you come away with an idea of "the other side?" What do the reviews say?]
Appropriate background information [Do your research about the issue presented in the film; know the history of that issue]
A clear indication of why that topic matters [Why do people care about this so much?]
Good reasons and evidence [This comes in the form of examples from the film and quotes from your scholarly sources]
Attention to more than one point of view [Make sure you acknowledge the "other side"-- of the issue and of those that would critique the film's value-- what fallacies/holes might you find in the film?]
An authoritative tone [Remember "How to Say Nothing in 500 Words"? Do not hedge in your paper with "I think" or "So it seems to me," etc. You've researched this and studied the film and issue... you are the authority of this paper. Write like it. ]
An appeal to readers' values [Know your audience, and write in such a way that would be appealing]
