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', 'Kidulthood'.
2. Documentary - 'Bowling for Columbine', 'Man With a Movie Camera', 'Triumph of the Will'.

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 (although a lot of the links are now dead - you'll have to carry out a new search) and it is strongly suggested that you do. Remember that you MUST watch the films again at school before half-term if you missed the revision film clubs. Failure to do so could mean we don't allow you to progress to A2 next year.
  

• 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 week to show to your teachers before the exam (or email them during the holidays) on Monday June 2nd at 9am (straight after the Module 1 exam). ARRIVE at least 20 MINUTES EARLY!!
