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' (for everyone), 'Kidulthood' (for 12c1, 12d1), 'Hidden' (for 12c2)
2. Documentary - 'Bowling for Columbine', 'Man With a Movie Camera', 'Triumph of the Will', 'Big Brother'.

This includes all the general handouts on documentary, film language, etc.

• Make sure you know the texts well enough to illustrate your points in the exam with detailed examples. You can watch all the texts again online by clicking on this link and it is strongly suggested that you do (especially if you missed any of the revision film clubs).

• 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 & pack.

• 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 7th at 9am (straight after the Module 1 exam). ARRIVE at least 20 MINUTES EARLY!!
