First Exam Question

Friday 27 November 2009

By now you should have completed all of the technical aspects of production in Tv drama, including editing, camera movement, composition and angles, sound and mise en scene.


In the following extract, (begin 1 min 21 sec into clip):
Discuss the ways in which the extract constructs representations of gender using the following:
-Camera Shots, angles, movement and composition
-Editing
-Sound
-Mise en Scene (lighting, costume, props etc)

You should watch the extract through once. Then watch again taking notes. Take notes after for a few minutes, then watch another twice taking notes.

The mark-scheme for this is:
-Explanation/analysis/argument (20 marks)
-Use of examples (20 marks)
-Use of terminology (10 marks)

You do not need to introduce or conclude, just to explain and analyse examples in relation to the representation of gender through the micro-analysis of the extract.

I would like this emailed to me by the evening of Wednesday 2nd December to ctierney911@c2kni.net thanks.
