This is a formal piece of writing, so your writing needs to reflect that.
Make sure your essay includes:
- an introduction and a thesis (this should be the last sentence in your intro)
- multiple body paragraphs (at least two, considering the word count). These should include references and examples from the film and the interview, as well as any other relevant examples,
- a conclusion (with a restated thesis statement)
- properly formatted citations
