Paper details: For this discussion, I want you to identify the Narrator of the film sequence in the American Psycho clip listed in the weekly module. Talk about whoever he, she, or it may be, or if there even is a narrator at all. Also, investigate the range and depth of the narrative in terms of the protagonist, Patrick Bateman (played by Christian Bale) by answering each of the following questions in essay style: 1.) How close are we to the character? 2.) Do we hear their thoughts, or are we shut out of that process? 3.) Are we seeing everything they see? 4.) Are we seeing things they didn’t see or can’t see? 5.) Do they have information we don’t have?

Assignment Prompt: Psycho Article SummaryOBJECTIVE Your purpose in this assignment is multi-fold: a) to learn skills of research using the SJSU library system, including its online search engines; b) to learn to properly cite a scholarly article; c) to improve skills of writing; and d) to gain insight into an important film by engaging with a peer-reviewed, scholarly article on this film — do note that it may not be a review.GUIDELINES First, you will use the MLK Library’s online article search engines (or Google Scholar, etc.) to locate a post-1980, peer-reviewed, scholarly article on this film. Scholarly articles tend to be longer and more critical/analytical than reviews. In order to make sure the article is peer-reviewed, click on this option when searching. Needless to say, the article should focus in some way on the movie in question.Second, you will read the article and make note of its thesis (a.k.a. argument) and main points.Third, you will write a concise summary of the article, highlighting its thesis and main arguments (in the first 2/3 of essay’s length) and how these expand your critical understanding of PSYCHO (in the remaining 1/3 of the essay’s length). I suggest concluding your essay with this last part. Be sure not to quote large passages or quote much at all in this assignment; let your voice carry the day.FORMATTING 2-3 pages (500-750 words), double-spaced, 12-point font, and page numbers. MLA or APA parenthetical format (see below) and proper full citation just below essay required.RESEARCH / CITATION Once at sjsu.edu, point the cursor over QUICK LINKS, and you will see KING LIBRARY. Once at the MLK site, you will see at the top a heading called FIND ARTICLES AND BOOKS. Point the cursor over it and select ARTICLES AND DATABASES. The two databases that will be of most use are FILM & TELEVISION LITERATURE INDEX WITH FULL TEXT and JSTOR, both of which you can locate alphabetically or by clicking on the FILM AND THEATRE subject link. Once in either search engine (F&TLIWFT or JSTOR), enter your search key words (psycho and hitchcock would be a good start, but you may have a specific interest), click on PEER-REVIEWED, ARTICLE, JOURNAL, ENGLISH, and FULL TEXT. This will generate plenty of articles that meet the requirements and that you can download onto your computer.NOTE: Be sure to visit the MLK Library and sign up for an account and PIN, both of which are required when using these search engines outside the university system. You may ask the reference librarian for help on this.Please use MLA or APA parenthetical citations if/when you quote or paraphrase the article (keep quotes to a bare minimum, as you should summarize in your own voice rather than quote large passages). At the end of your essay, regardless of whether you quoted it, I want to see a proper and full citation of the article, either in MLA or APA style.Here is an example of parenthetical citation in the body of the text for any quotation (again, to be kept to a minimum):According to Maximilian M. Todd, “the relationship between object and subject is a testament to the struggles between the sexes” (Smith 94).And here is an example of a full citation of a peer-reviewed article:Nordhaus, William D. "After Kyoto: Alternative Mechanisms to Control Global Warming." American Economic Review 96.2 (2006): 31-34. Note that “96” refers to the volume, as, in this case, the 96th year of this journal’s circulation; “2” refers to the issue in that year (in some cases, the issue is labeled by season, and you would cite it like this: “…Review 96 (Winter 2006): 31-34.”

short films,,in the file.Watch any one of the short films offered in this course and write about it in two different posts. For the first post, write about one of the following elements of design (make sure to define the element carefully first) and why it's important in the film you've selected: a) setting, décor, and properties; b) lighting; c) costume, makeup, and hairstyle. | For the second post, write about oneof the following elements of framing of the shot: a) implied proximity to the camera; b) depth; c) camera angle and height; d) scale; e) camera movement; e) framing and point of view. Again, make sure you define the element you've chosen first and then apply it to the film you've selected. (Each post should be *at least* 100 words.) Remember that you should write formally, albeit briefly. Include a thesis sentence, define terms, and support your observations with specific examples from the film and the textbook.
