You also need to refer to the textbook, the lectures, and three outside sources (one socio-historical and one about each of the films you are discussing) in your paper. Use vivid descriptions of 3 particular scenes from each film which illustrate your key points as well as what the other sources say about the film and the social implications of the film and time period. Your works cited page should be page 6.
Note: A sociohistorical source is an academic source that talks about the politics, social movements, and history of the time in which a given film is made. In other words, just find a source that you can use to reference when talking about WHY the films resonated with viewers at the time. What was going on in America that is reflected in the films? As we’ve talked about quite a bit over the first half of the term, all film emerges from the issues that are pressing during each time period.
Compare the comedy styles of Buster Keaton, Harold Lloyd, and Charlie Chaplin. What made their characters different? What did each say about their social-political views? Use examples from both their short films and one feature (so you will need to view one full Harold Lloyd film as well as several short films by each artist).
Compare DW Griffith’s Broken Blossoms with his film Way Down East. What themes are similar, and which are different? Discuss his innovations in editing and character development in each film. Discuss issues of race brought up in Griffith’s films as well.

Are these films actually glorifying the gangster lifestyle or are they, as they claim, demonstrations of what is rotten in America and encouraging us to do something about it?
Discuss melodramatic elements in Imitation of Life (1934) and Gone with the Wind (1939). Focus on how black Americans are portrayed in each.
Discuss 42nd Street and Gold Diggers of 1933 (LeRoy). Why were musicals so popular at the time and how did these two use song and dance to discuss more complicated social issues?
