Film Festival Proposal

Resources: University of Phoenix: Film Festival Proposal Assignment.

Format your paper consistent with APA guidelines (APA paper/essay format). Be sure to properly format and cite films.

Create a 1,050 to 1,400 word proposal for a themed film festival in the form of an APA formatted paper/essay. The theme could be anything from a specific genre, like the Western, to a topic, such as LGBTQ representations, to a specific time period, and everything in between. Do not use the same theme as the topic of your Week 4 presentation. If you have any question as to whether your topic is appropriate, don't hesitate to ask.

Design this film festival for University of Phoenix students; keep your audience in mind.

Part 1

Identify and explain/describe your theme.

Part 2

Identify and describe three films that will serve as the main event for the festival (these are to be three real films that do exist, not ones you make up on your own). Each film must fit the theme. In your justification, use some specific scenes, rather than just general plot summary, from each movie. You are not required to name any other films that will be shown in the festival, though you are welcome to do so.

Compare and contrast the three main movies to each other to effectively explain how they relate to your chosen theme. In this section, consider all that was discussed throughout the semester, including but not limited to: cinematography, sound and music, editing, narrative, genres, history, and film theory.

Part 3

Include the rationale for your proposed film festival. Should include: Why you think University of Phoenix students need to examine or might be interested in this theme? What will students learn?
