PROMPT: Write a short paper (300 words min-500 words max) where you discuss what aspects of Citizen Kane conforms to the idea of Classical Hollywood Cinema. You must address each of the four items with an example of why it conforms or does not. As you provide evidence, you must explicitly state how concepts of story, plot and depth of story info. (restricted vs. unrestricted AND/OR objective vs. subjective: mental or perceptual) operate in the film.

EXAMPLE

Here is an example of how you might do this from another movie:

“Because Sherlock Jr. is built around the projectionist’s desire to both become a detective and court “the girl”, I believe it conforms to the first criteria of Classical Hollywood Cinema (CHC): the goal-oriented protagonist. Though there are times we are given unrestricted access to scenes that the projectionist/Sherlock Jr. is not privy to, as in the scene where the “local Shiek” steals the pocket watch, this is a plot event that allows the projectionist’s major conflict to begin. We may wonder whether this film’s main character role is shared by the the projectionist and the girl, making it stray from the CHC format, but this dilemma is solved once the mentally subjective scene of “Sherlock Jr.” begins. Now we know that the central focus is on the perception of the projectionist.

GRADE BREAKDOWN

This portion would be worth 3 of the 10 total points because it 1) Addresses the first criteria of Classical Hollywood Cinema 2) Provides an example that uses the concept of “unrestricted access” accurately and 3) uses the concept of plot event correctly in its argument. *For good measure this answer also uses mental subjectivity and even offers a counterargument. Though this extra information is not necessary, it would make sure that this submission receives full points.

It would be possible to receive 12 points with the math on this paper (4 CHC criteria worth 3 points each). But those extra two points are built in for errors in your argument. There is no extra credit, only forgiveness in case you cannot cover all criteria on certain items. Not to mention, if I were to write four responses at the above length, I would go over the maximum page length. Choose your words carefully.
