Using any film you have watched in conjunction with this course as your reference, write an essay evaluating the success of the screenplay in providing the basis for an effective motion picture.  (In this case, we will make the assumption that the screenplay for the project reflects the completed movie; if completing a research essay, actual scripts would have to be consulted for a full analysis.)  You must use at least seven of the following ten terms in your analysis: structure; premise; backstory; exposition; protagonist; antagonist; objective; conflict; setting; theme.

What will be an ideal response?


Answers will vary.  See Glossary for definitions of required terms to evaluate proper use of vocabulary.
