My Study Proposal(First Draft)

MA Study Proposal

Research question

Compare the different film style of the western and eastern country.

Research aim

The overall aim of my subject is to compare with the western and eastern countries’ different film style. I found that there are big difference of the western and eastern films, whether movies’ types, content, or editing and film photography. For example, the horror film, the eastern people think, Psychological terror is a real terrorist, maybe not too many bloody scenes. But in western, people think that must have bloody focus, and must be a supernatural, and in the final of the film, it can be explained by science. This discovery makes me exciting, so I hope to accord this question, I can know the difference of the western and eastern countries more depth, and how to put them together to make a international film.

Research objectives

Firstly, I need to watch many the western and eastern countries’ movies that are the same , from these movies to find different movie style. Secondly, I want to read some book about that, better to know the cultural characteristics in the film history of the western and eastern countries. Finally, I will make some films that have the western and eastern elements. and one of these films is has the western and eastern elements.

This is my first draft of  the study proposal, at that time, my research direction is film style.
