Reflect on. the film: Amores Perros (2000)
You will exercise these skills in written form, in a paper that
does two things: Reveals what a movie is about (its theme)
and shows how you know that to be so (its techniques).
You could think of theme as the lesson the writer hopes to communicate to the audience. A theme is not a single word, like violence or family. Instead, a theme is a fully-formed idea, expressed as a sentence.
In your opening paragraph, make a claim about what you
believe the theme to be. The body of your paper will then be
a discussion of how the filmmaker uses techniques such as
design, camera, dialogue, lighting, music, etc., to create scenes that connect to this theme.
