***In general, writing a research paper involves familiarizing yourself with the works of experts in the field of a given subject (Arabic Film and Media here), such works are expressed in scholarly books, articles, or through interviews, to build upon what you know about the subject, comparing their thoughts on the topic, and eventually coming up with your own insightful conclusion. The final paper will be a unique and appropriate reflection on evidence you have located in your research, and a touch of insights generated from your own thought. Given that for this class you are assigned to write a Film Paper, use research as needed and adhere mainly to the description of a Film Paper detailed in chapter 12 of your book, Film Studies.
