For your final paper/project, you have two main options (and a third for FILM BAS students):

• Analyze an artifact of popular culture, applying at least five theories or critical frameworks, and 10 credible, scholarly research sources. 15-20 pages (4500-6000 words).

• Create your own artifact of popular culture and analyze it, applying at least three theories or critical frameworks, and 6 credible, scholarly research sources. 10-12 pages (3000-3600 words).

• BAS FILM Option: In teams of 3, create a team short video/film production, at least 14 minutes in length, meeting production quality standards appropriate for the BAS program. A script of at least 4500 words (including staging directions, lighting and technical information, cast lines, etc) must be submitted by each team. Each team member would then analyze the completed film, applying at least one theory in detail, with at least 6 credible, scholarly research sources. 7-10 pages (1800-3000 words).

Note: Page lengths listed here include all APA formatting pages, such as Title, Abstract, and Reference pages (if you have more than one reference page, only count it as one page).
