Your Research Questions
Write your name, and the date.
Now write a sample thesis, like this: [Title],
a film version of
Examples:
–“Everyday Use,” a film version of Alice Walker’s short story by the same name, makes use of voice
over narration.
–“Bernice Bobs Her Hair,” a film version of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s short story, uses dramatic convention
in its costuming.
–We can see the use of background music in the film version of William Faulkner’s short story, “Barn
Burning.”
Now, write three Research Questions:
1. How can I define [Dramatic Convention] (Eg. “How can I define hairstyles?”)
2. Is there a history of [Dramatic Convention] in film? (Eg. “Is there a history of
hairstyles in film?”)
3. How (or why) is [Dramatic Convention] generally used in any film? (Eg. “How
are hairstyles generally used in film?”)
If you want to do a little more research, here are two extra research questions
you can use. But BEWARE – these should not overwhelm the film-centric
focus of your study!
4. What is the symbolism of this Belle Beastly

topic, outside of film? (Eg.
“What is the symbolism of hair /
haircuts / braiding hair outside of
film?”)
5. Is there information about [the
short story] itself that
somehow supports my research
of the [Dramatic Convention]?
(Eg., “Is there information about
“Bernice Bobs Her Hair” that somehow
supports my research of haircuts?”)
The Result should look like this >>>
Your Research Questions help direct the
kind of sources you are looking at.
THESIS: We can see the use of background music

story, “Barn Burning.”
Research Questions:

2. Is there a history of background music in
film?
3. How is background music generally used in
film?
4. What is the symbolism of music, outside of
film?
5. Is there information about “Barn Burning”
that somehow supports my research on
background music?

Belle Beastly’s Research:
October 28, 2015
SOURCE ONE:
“The effect of music background on the emotional
appraisal of film sequences” Ivanka Pavlović and
Slobodan Marković
http://www.doiserbia.nb.rs/img/doi/0048-5705/2011/0048-57051101071P.pdf
“one can say that the effects of music background on emotional appraisal of film
sequences depend on the quality of emotions. The adaptive and functional specificities of
interacting emotions, such as hedonic tone, arousal and behavior response, define the
directions and the intensities of their conjoint effect. For instance, the relationship
between polar emotions joy (pleasant, high arousing, proactive) and sadness (unpleasant,
low arousing, passive) is quite different from fear (unpleasant, high arousing, defensive)
and anger (unpleasant, high arousal, offensive). Having in mind that anger and fear are
opposite in only one aspect (behavior: offensive-defensive), while joy and sadness are
polar in all three aspects (hedonic tone, arousal and behavior), it is not unusual that angry
music can easily induce the feeling of fear, while joyful music will never induce the
sadness!”
You can also research online,
especially on TVTropes (but not all your
sources can come from TVTropes).
<<< EXAMPLE – you should have more than one! The minimum number of sources is 3, but “minimum” is not A work – better that you find at least 5 legitimate sources, not counting the film. Citation Information: When you find cool information, you must make note of where it came from. This information is called the Citation Information. It will go into your Work Cited page later. The best way to get this information from Library Articles is to email the article to yourself. For next time's homework, just make sure you have the basics for any quotes you find. One more BIG hint – when you're looking at an article and not sure if it works for you, read the last page of the article. That's where everything will be summed up, and it should give you a better idea of whether it covers something you want to know. WHEN IN DOUBT, ASK A RESEARCH LIBRARIAN!!!
