Then, we must introducing the subject which tells the whole story is about. after that, we also must definite position on the subject.

• THE CONTENT - we tell the summary of the whole story. Usually, we used synopsis method which means the highlighted the point. Besides that, we can used the thematic method which are the overview of the main idea. 

• THE SOURCE - we have 3 options in writing the source which is the work, the author and the subject matter. first, the work which is you write about the bigger or the larger work of the film, you write about the story it self. Then, the author, we can write about the background of the author which are the creator of the film, article. Lastly, we can used the subject matter. for example, in the Jeff Goodell article, Jeff Goodell write about Steve Jobs. the subject matter in the article is about Steve Jobs.
