Description

Your paper should be organized around a thesis statement that clarifies what you will attempt to accomplish in your paper, and how you will proceed. Review the Final Film Critique sample, which provides an example of a well-developed analysis as well as insight on composition.

In your paper,

Identify your selected film, including writer, director, year of release, and genre.
Briefly summarize the film in which you apply your knowledge of the difference between the film’s story and its plot.
Describe one of the broad theories you have learned about in class (auteur theory, genre theory, formalist theory) and analyze your selected film through that lens.
Evaluate the use of three specific techniques and design elements employed in the film as they contribute to the overarching narrative and theme of the film. This can include elements of mise-en-scène (e.g., lighting, sound, composition of frame, costuming, etc.) and editing (e.g., cuts and transitions, shots used, angles, etc.).
Describe the connection between this film and society (i.e., politically or culturally, positive or negative) and draw conclusions about its impact.

The difference between cash and accrual accounting is the timing of when sales and purchases are recorded in your books. Cash accounting documents revenue and expenses only when money changes hands.  Accrual accounting acknowledges revenue when it’s earned, and expenses when they’re billed (but not paid).  As a restaraunt owner I would operate on Accrual basis.  It just seems more logical to me in that the food industry be challenging when forecasting financial goals and knowing that your accounts are updated when you order something helps in knowing what you have to sell to break even.  If I waited until I actually paid for it it would skew that result.
