Independent Research Sample

1. Jason Structured and discusses his topic on how Power through Lighting and Color in International Cinema by first staring off by showing us how lighting and color can be used and then first talks about the first movie Tsotsi and how it used lighting and color in the film with interviews of the director and with voiceovers by Jason. Then he went into talking about how Sin City used Lighting and color with interviews from the Director of that movie.

2. He used actual clips from the two films and a lightning effect in the beginning and end of the documentary it enhance the V.O. of the narrative.

3. The topic he researched was Power through Lighting and Color in International Cinema, and the resource he used were the two actual films (Sin City and Tsotsi), American Cinematographer, Blunt Review, and Understanding Movies for the research on his topic.

4. After looking at the script and the rubric, I would give the paper a 24 because through out the script he shows great understanding the film topic he had researched and uses good clips from the film to defend his topic. His structure of the script is strong since Jason uses interviews from the directors to defend his topic even more along with his own narration which explain what his topic is about and how the films he looked at use it. Lastly that he uses are related to the topic because the two films lighting and color usage related to what Jason is talking about, like in Sin City how black and white color is used instead of actual color.
