Film Language Essay

For 12C1 students...

Write a 1000 word essay analysing a 2-3 minute extract from a film of your choice.

The essay must be word-processed and handed in on paper on the first day back after the holidays - Monday 5th January 2009 - but also posted on your blog (with the clip as well if you get this from YouTube, but you could get it from a DVD instead).

Remember that spelling, punctuation, paragraphing, introductions, conclusions, etc. will all be assessed, as well as your ability to apply the key terms you've learnt from the Film Langauge pack. (Keep the pack close at hand when writing).

It's not enough simply to describe the features being used; you also need to explain their purpose/effect on audiences...WHY has the director chosen to use a particular technique?
