The Dossier
Within 1000 words
Up to five (approximately) secondary sources in your references
Can have slightly lighter tone than conventional academic essays (although
doesn’t have to), but not informal
Not heavy footnoting (only for referencing)
Bibliography and filmography at the end
The filmography should reference both the film(s) part of your event and the
viewing discussed in relation to it.
Make sure to be clear and coherent throughout the piece.
Have balance! Make sure the paragraphs look appropriately proportioned.
Leave out the excess. Respect the economy of the piece.
Have a clear conclusion. Don’t limit yourself to using this space as a summary,
but add something to your final comments; make that space matter!
Pay attention to the clear structure that maps the contents
Directly to the point – there is no space for long premises or summaries that are
not functional to the main argument
One clear point at the center of the piece
Doesn’t need a proper thesis (doesn’t have to provide a solution to the issue),
but also a thorough observation and analysis
