you read that there are various approaches to studying film history: Carefully review these approaches (The aesthetic approach, the technological approach, the economic approach, the social history approach). After reviewing the Historical approaches outlined in your textbook apply one (or more) of these to the film, THE JAZZ SINGER.
Research on line to learn more about the History of this film. Note: Where are you finding your sources? Is it peer reviewed? When researching and writing for any class, keep in mind: AI Generators do not provide vetted sources. So, you really have no idea what it is mining for and regurgitating. AI also hallucinates; making up facts …with confidence! When researching, remember to always consider the following:
– Who is the author? What is their point of view?
– Why was the source created? Who is the intended audience?
– Where was it published? In what medium?
– How is it relevant to your research? What is its scope?
– When was it written? Has it been updated?
– Did they cite their sources? Who did they cite?
