The introductory part of a film analysis essay contains some fundamental information about the movie, like the film title, release date, and directors name. In other words, the reader should get familiar with some background information about the film. It would be good to research the filmmaker because it can reveal significant insights related to the movie, or find out other movies the filmmaker made, that you can use in your analysis.
