PLEASE HELP! Im doing a paper about philippine indie films and I need to know how I could apply film theory!!!

Question

Im currently doing a supposedly "research paper" which is actually more like a thesis already. My topic was originally concerned with the rise of philippine indie films in general/collectively but after consulting my professor in that subject last week, he told me to select a particular indie film and use film theory as the methodology but I cant understand how I should do it. please help! my paper's already overdue and Im still clueless!

i already watched 2; ang pagdadalaga ni maximo oliveros and donsol.im not yet sure which of the two i would choose.how do i apply film theory as the methodology??how should i discuss it?please help!!!

Answer 1

It might greatly help if you inform us of a philippine indie film you are familiar with. Something preferably you saw (not slept through), quite familiar with and is interested in. The paper looks like it will need to be developed like an expanded movie review. Familiarize yourself with film theory. Possible aspects would be if the indie chose a digital medium instead of the regular film. The sooner we know these things, the sooner can we progress. (Unless, of course, what you're looking for is someone to do the paper for you.)
