A note about ads: Probably the simplest way to go about this assignment is to look at your film's advertisements. These are easy to find on Lantern. It's fine if you do this, but it will not fully satisfy this assignment to simply discuss a bunch of ads. You need to contextualize those ads with other (non-ad) sources that point to a broader argument about how the film was positioned in the cinema marketplace, or what plot text star elements were emphasized, or what the ads suggest about the film's production, or some other broader idea than "here's the ad campaign." This is why you can only include a maximum of three advertisements. Bibliography: You need to include a full bibliographic entry at the end of the assignment indicating the date(s) and page number(s) you are working with so that I can also look at what you are writing about. For example: John Doe, "Thomas Edison Does it Again," Motion Picture World (January 1911): 12. Formatting: Please begin your paper at the top of page one and end somewhere on pages 4-5 with a regular 12-point font, one-inch margins, and double-spaced spacing. A few research tips: 1 . One of the first things you will want to do is figure out when your film premiered. Determining this date will help you narrow down when you are likely to find the most sources about your film. Release dates are slightly more complicated than it might seem because studios often "prereleased" (premiered) films in New York in advance of their "general release." The AFI catalog is a good source for determining both a film's premiere date (typically, New York) and the beginning of its general release: https://aficatalog.afi.com/ 2. For your sources, be sure to search around your film's premiere and release dates (that is to say, at least six months before and after those dates). 3. When searching, it's often a good idea to put your film's title in quotes in the search box (i.e., "the Love Parade"), but it also helps to be flexible. It will also be worth searching for other terms connected to your film, such as its director, stars, or its studio/distributor. (ex.: the Love Parade AND Paramount). 4. If you are looking for reviews, it helps to know that headlines for reviews might not have the film's name in them, but something descriptive about the film
