League of Legends

MOVIE:

(Movie titles in italics)

INTRODUCTION:

Here you can provide some background on the movie, when it was made, what awards it won, etc. You can provide the briefest (2-3 sentences max) description of the plot. You must conclude with a statement of your main idea, which outlines the genre of the movie and the criteria you will be focusing on in the body of the paper.

For example: Star Wars: A New Hope is a cinematic masterpiece of science fiction because of the filming of epic battles in space using rudimentary special effects, the various immersive sets, and the inspirational musical score by John Williams.

 

BODY:

This is where you outline at least three criteria and use specific examples from the movie to support your ideas. Remember two things: imagine the audience has already seen the movie (helps avoid plot summary) and maintain the formal third person voice and language of formal academic writing. Each topic sentence should clearly name the topic and state the criteria:

  1. The amazing space battles filmed in A New Hope are incredibly realistic and are reminiscent of aerial dogfighting among planes during very real wars on Earth.
  2. The various sets in A New Hope are incredibly detailed and are among the first in movie history to look ‘lived in’ and well-used, making the other-worldly space opera seem even more realistic.
  3. The classical musical score of A New Hope is iconic because of its use of classical instrumentation in a futuristic setting, and it highlights the various conflicts and even characters extremely well.

 

CLOSING:

This is where you can give your final thoughts, and you might use a liiiiitle first person to leave the reader with your final impressions of the movie. You can use a quote from the movie or describe (briefly) and iconic scene to give the reader your final ‘take’ on the ultimate meaning and importance of the movie (like the significance or dominant impression).
