Write the following:
1. Write a brief synopsis of your film’s story. Focus only on one or two main characters and the central conflict.
Sample sentence: A no-nonsense mother conspires to get her bright but complacent daughter to attend a prestigious graduate school in London.
2. What is your Composition, Lens & Shot Theory? In other words, how will your shots, choice of lenses and compositions further your story and evoke feelings from your audience?
Sample sentence: Wide shots and long takes will help capture the energy of this busy, loving family. Often the camera will remain fixed, while characters move swiftly in and out of the frame. This balance between stasis and blocking lets the vibrant rhythm of daily life at the Abdullah household shine through.

Reading and Writing Guide for Paper #1 based on Book of Ages: The Life and Opinions of Jane Franklin by Jill Lepore
Your paper will attempt to answer this basic question:
Why would an eminent historian like Lepore spend the considerable time and effort to research and write a book about the obscure younger sister of perhaps the most famous and acclaimed man in early America, Ben Franklin?
As you develop your essay you may want to consider some or all of the following:
• Why did Lepore undertake this task?
• Did Jane leave much evidence of her life?
• Is her life even worth writing about? Is she that ordinary?
• Does everyone have a life worth recording?
• Is this book as much about Ben Franklin as it is about his sister Jane?
• What does Lepore expect readers to learn from this book that could not be learned from one of the many biographies of Ben Franklin, including his Autobiography?
• How were the lives of these two siblings irrevocably shaped by gender?
• Why were their destinies so different if Jane was so accomplished?
• Does the book provide any unique insights into the character of Ben Franklin?
• In what way(s) was Jane ordinary or extraordinary for her times?
• Are there many female “voices” from the 18th century? Why or why not?
• Compare and contrast the siblings’ personalities. How alike? How different?
• Why were Jenny and Benny so connected?
• Describe their relationship.
• Why does Ben seem to constantly strive to be perceived as “ordinary”?
• Does Jane do the same?
• Why was the ability to write a mark of status?
• What does Ben think of Jane’ spelling and grammar? Why was it rather deficient?
• What was Jane’s “Book of Ages”? Was it really a book in the conventional sense? How does Lepore use it?
• Were there other sources to reconstruct Jane’s life? What is the problem with these sources?
• Is Jane’s story as absorbing and important as Ben’s public triumphs? Explain.
• How does Lepore handle gaps in the documentary evidence of Jane’s life?
• Can only famous men and women make history?
• Explain the paradox that the value of this book resides in Jane’s “ordinariness”.
