Film Analysis paper
I need someone to write a film analysis paper (1,000 words double spaced) This assignment will require students to watch a film of their choosing that examines family dynamics in some way. Students will then write a 1000 word double-spaced essay (about 3-4 pages) that a) briefly introduces the family from the film to the reader (what film did you use, who are they, how many family members are there, general descriptive characteristics of the family), b) identifies at least 4 course concepts from course readings any chapter can be useful, but those from chapters 5-9 might be most easy to identify within the movie that they saw occur within the family in question (for example, did you notice any family rituals, how did family members seem to communicate during conflict, how did they react to stressful situations, etc.), and c) utilizes relevant information from the course to explain how the family processes mentioned in part B influenced the relationships between family members and whyyou think this was the case (for example, if you saw family members become defensive during conflict and it seemed to escalate the conflict you would state that defensiveness escalated the conflict and then use your knowledge from course readings to explain why becoming defensive would cause conflict escalation).
Papers should include the following elements:
An introductory paragraph that explains what film the student chose to watch, why they chose to watch that particular film, and overall what general patterns of behavior they saw occurring within the film (just a short summary, not an in-depth description. The in-depth description comes later).
A brief description of the family in the film (who is the family, how many family members are there, general descriptive characteristics of the family such as ages, biological sex, race/ethnicity, socioeconomic status (if known), do they seem close to one another, do they interact often, etc). This should provide the instructor with enough background/context to make sure the student is applying course concepts appropriately.
A few paragraphs that identify four course concepts that we have learned about from course readings (any chapter can be useful, but those from chapters 5-9 might be most easy to identify within the movie) that relate to the family/film in question and help explain how the family processes seen in the film influenced the family, and why those processes influenced the family in that way. See description above for some examples of topics to discuss.
A conclusion paragraph that explains, overall, what the student has learned about the family in the film through this process.

Family Relationships
In as much as films intend to entertain the audience, there are often cases in which the audience may experience a learning moment from the films in question. For instance, there are cases I which people have learned about application of various designs from films, in addition to lessons on lifestyle. Similarly, as films often seek to emulate experiences in the society, there are often cases of congruence, in which films may present social issues as presented in the society. Such films often intend to educate just as much as they seek to entertain their audience. The 2015 film Vacation presents a comedy film that also seeks to educate the audience on the importance of family cohesion irrespective of strife that could otherwise threaten the unity among the family members.
