Question

Assignments : A. Film Analysis Related to Interpersonal Communication Background on the Assignment:

In a written assignment of approximately 1,000 words, examine how the insights you gained from course readings thus far relate to some of the characters, scenes or plot in a film that you have viewed. Students are encouraged to select from a wide array of films, from independent productions to Hollywood hits. This analysis should include three parts:

Part One: Explain the interpersonal communication concepts/competencies that you will survey in this analysis, including a brief explanation of each of the key terms you will reference. In this section, I encourage you to define the key concepts explored in the film (i.e. if you are analyzing The Breakfast Club, naturally, you will discuss topics such as friendship and self-disclosure). In additional to identifying these key concepts, you must also define them according to definitions provided by Adler et al (author of your textbook) and/or Aitken et al (author of your course manual). In other words, this section of your paper will be more descriptive than analytical or critical.

Part Two: Give a brief overview of the film, including some description of the plot and character development, if applicable. You summary should be about one to two paragraphs only. For example, some films (such as The Breakfast Club) will require that you introduce the main characters since this particular film is largely about character development while other films are more focused on particular social issues. After viewing the film, you should judge what aspect of the film you will likely focus on in your summary. Please keep in mind that this section should include an original summary and not one that is largely adapted based on Wikipedia, IMDB or other sites.

Part Three: Describe and assess how the interpersonal dynamics featured in the film apply to your own understanding of interpersonal communication. In this section, you are called upon to ‘put on your critical hat’ so that you may explore the key concepts identified in Part One while cross-referencing them as they become apparent in the film. Perhaps you will argue that the conflict you studied in the textbook and manual is not consistent with the conflict you analyzed while viewing the film, Crash for instance. It could be that you argue that conflict should be further explored through the lens of intercultural communication, given that conflict often arises when cultures ‘crash’. In this section, I am asking that you interrogate the concepts or the film’s portrayal of the concepts based on the information you have gathered in reading course materials thus far. You may also include personal examples in your own life if you think it strengthens your argument.

Sources: Please ensure that you cite a minimum of two sources, one being the film you will analyze and the other, being either your textbook or your course manual. You are welcome to include additional sources, though it is not required. Finally, you may site your sources and format your assignment, using either MLA or APA.
