Friday - Period 3

Close Study of Film - in our final lessons for 2010 you will undertake a close study of a Tropfest film.  View all the films below and choose ONE as the subject of your study.

Your initial task is to compose a series of questions (that you also answer in detail) using the questioning circles model (see diagram on classroom wall).

Then undertake a second viewing in which you make notes about the film techniques employed, the meaning they create, the effectiveness of them, and how they develop the themes.

We will revise a close study of text program through a short film - 'The Mysterious Geographic Explorations of Jasper Morello'.  Pay attention to the areas of focus, discussion of theme, analysis of filmic techniques and mise en scene, etc as a model for your own study in Week 8.

Monday - Period 5 & Tuesday - Period 3

Narrative revision in preparation for the School Certificate - brainstorm (see below), deconstruction, planning & composition, peer marking.
