What's the plan?


Today I asked everyone to put together a timetable to enable you to plan when you were going to work on each of your films and what you were going to focus on. From period 3 today up to period 1 next week Friday, your deadline, you have 12 and half lessons. You have to schedule and create a plan of how you are going to use each of those lessons and your homework time, you can find a week;y schedule in the S dirve to help you plan or click here to download template. Next Friday everyone will do a comparative presentation, this is very similar to what you have already done EXCEPT you will be presenting 2 clips from the same genre and during or after your analysis of both clips you need to be able to discuss the similarities and differences between each of the films relating those comparisons back to 

  • Micro features
  • Macro features (narrative theory)
  • Genre elements
  • Audience pleasures
