Final Project.

 As you prepare for the Outline of your Final Paper, here are some things to keep in mind:

• Wherever you are in your writing process, it’s important to remember that you’re trying to show me what you’ve learned in the course.
• Make observations and connections and integrate vocabulary and concepts we’re learning
• Think about the organization. Simply listing the elements in the assignment prompt is not an outline
• The thesis statement is the most important part of the outline HOW TO WRITE AN A+ THESIS STATEMENT
• I would like to see a full sentence outline. The more complete your work is now, the more helpful and substantive my feedback can be THESIS AND SENTENCE OUTLINE
• I look forward to seeing how your work is developing!
• You should plan to spend about more time on this stage of the assignment (research and outline) than on the final stage of the assignment (rough draft and polish).
• Finally, UMGC’s WRITING CENTER can assist you if you get stuck or need some extra help. 

Good luck and happy researching!

This reference is specific to the cinematography techniques used in the film, ‘The Green Mile’. It provides insight into the various aspects of cinematography, such as the tone of the film, the camera angles and lighting, as well as the dialogue between the characters. This reference will help backup the information I will provide in my final paper.

This reference is the actual film, ‘The Green Mile’, found on YouTube. I will be watching the entire film to gather information for my final paper. The information I will be looking for while watching this film are the editing techniques used by the director, as well as my personal reaction to draw a general conclusion from.

The movie review of, ‘The Green Mile’, by the late Roger Ebert is a perfect reference to gain insight to the critical review of the film upon its release. I will be referencing opinions and points made by the infamous film critic, as he discusses the direction of the film, as well as the actors’ performance.

Kuhn, A., & Westwell, G.(2012). cinematography. In A Dictionary of Film Studies. : Oxford University Press. Retrieved 28 Jun. 2017, from http://www.oxfordreference.com/view/10.1093/acref/9780199587261.001.0001/acref-9780199587261-e-0124.

This general reference on cinematography is from the Oxford Dictionary of Film Studies. I found this entry very useful during week 4 of the course when it was presented and will use it as a reference for my final paper, as well as future discussions. The entry defines cinematography in film making as capturing movement on film, as well as explains the role of a cinematographer on a movie set.
