Question 1 evaluation

2 comments:

  1. A good start and splendidly organised thus far. To strengthen:

    1) In each section you MUST REFERENCE THE QUESTION. For example

    Costume: We used......
    Enigma: We developed this generic convention....
    Character types, we used the convention of a young female being at the mercy of an alpha male. The convention of weak woman and agressive male is explicitly used in the opening to Once Upon a Time in America...

    In Question 1 it is all too easy for students to lose sight of the question and begin to explain the reasons behind their ideas.

  2. You are developing your answer well.

    1) To provide strong evidence that you clearly understand how you use generic conventions reference pages 6,10 & 11 of your booklet.

    2) Sound needs discussing. Explain how the soundtrack reinforces suspense which is a convention of the genre.

    3) Don't forget to discuss the conventions of the opening to a thriller film. Here length, titles and cliff hanger are all conventions of the opening to a thriller film.
