Research into Short films.
Deadline for this is Friday September 20th.
Read the guidance on Moodle (also some printed copies in GF5).
Conduct Textual Analysis on 10 Short Films in total.
3 -5 of these can be of films that you analysed during the transition period.
The other 5 -7 need to be original short films that we did not study in class.
The whole point of this exercise is to apply all 5 media concepts - Genre, Representation, Audience, Narrative and Media Language, to each film. Look at the guidance notes for help with this. However, you probably won't be able to apply all of the 5 concepts in the same amount of detail to each film, and your analysis will probably focus on a couple of the concepts more than all 5 equally.
So, think sensibly about what the examiners are looking for - it's about exploring the range of short films out there, about finding out what's possible, and it's about understanding how the 5 concepts can be applied to short films. Try to be inspired, not intimidated - and just do what you can! Less might be more, if the analysis is good!
Be imaginative in how you post this - it does not have to be written - you could present it as a video commentary for instance. If you do opt for a written style, we expect lots of Screen grabs or Excerpts from the films that you analyse.
For each short film that you analyse, discuss how you would like to take any of the ideas forward into your own work.
