Module 2 Revision/Preparation

Your revision/preparation for Module 2 should be...

  • Read through all notes, handouts and past essays on the key texts...
  1. Film & Broadcast Fiction - 'Bullet Boy', 'City of God', 'Curb your Enthusiasm', 'Eastenders'.
  2. Documentary - 'Bowling for Columbine', 'Big Brother', 'Man With a Movie Camera', 'Triumph of the Will'.
This includes all the general handouts on documentary, soaps and sitcoms, etc. - particularly those that you've been given this week that have a range of activities for you to consider.
  • Make new notes on each key text (above)...your own mini-revision guides, focussing on the Key Concepts for each one.
  • Re-read Module 2 revision pack.
  • Revision of MIGRAIN - key questions to ask, keywords/glossary + film language worksheets.
  • Read through all 'Film & Broadcast Fiction' & 'Documentary' past questions.
  • Write essay plans for as many different questions as possible.
  • Complete as many timed essays as you can (45 minutes/question).

Please post up as comments on here a record of the practice you have done- it will be useful for people to share ideas about how to approach certain questions and an opportunity to ask Macguffin to explain anything about any of them.

And don't forget - you can bring any timed essays in over the next one and a half weeks of school to show to your teachers before the exam on Thursday June 8th at 9am (straight after the Module 1 exam). ARRIVE 15 MINUTES EARLY!!
