1)
What is a question about film and genre that
interests you?
Why does every movie have some love story in it?
2)
Why is this question important to you? Why is it
worth your study? What personal beliefs does it make you consider?
Because every movie has one and I want to know why. And I’m
sure other people do too. Love and happiness.
3)
Do you have any prior assumptions about how this
genre operates or about the values that the genre elevates? Explain your
beliefs.
The question isn’t a specific genre? But that love and
happiness are very important to life.
4)
What do you hope to learn in terms of
relationships and observations of the genre and related films? You might want
to throw out some examples here.
Why do all they films have this in them? Even action movies
do.
5)
What are some issues that you anticipate may be
problematic in the collection of data or in analyzing the genre or film?
Details of why may be hard to find.
6)
Think about the time periods of the genre,
whether the genre or your films belong to the studio system period or after,
consider the audience of the genre, and brainstorm the sub-genres that evolved
from the mother genre. What new ideas do these considerations tell you about
the genre? What new angles do you see?
My question isn’t about genre so I’m not sure how to answer
this…
7)
Where do you hope to take this paper? What do
you hope to learn?
I want to make a point that not all movies have to have a
love story to be good… I want to know why they think that.
8)
Who do you think would find your study interesting,
in addition to me? Why?
Males, because we don’t care about all the mushy stuff.
9)
Where do you think you will find the best
sources to answer this question?
I honestly have no clue…
10) If
your topic had a face, what would be its expression? Why?
Puzzled, because I want to know why all movies have somewhat
of a love story.
Hello Chris,
ReplyDeleteThis is a good starting point! It is a question that has interested me as well because I often want the love story to be gone (in "Hannibal" and "Dexter")! It is still a bit too broad for you to start research yet, so I am going to point you back to genre. What are some films that do romance in an unexpected way? Are there films that do romance in a way that makes it seem really tired and boring? Tell me a little about these films. Genre seems like a complicated word, Chris, but it is not really that complicated. It just means type, and type is something that we think about each day (What type of food is that? What type of teacher is this person?). You are on your way thinking about romance, but put a few examples on it to see how you can narrow it
Go for it,
RW
