- Research & Planning For Own Product - 6 hours (3 weeks)
- Construction of Own Product - 8 hours (4 weeks)
- Evaluation - 6 hours (3 weeks)
Out of Hours Learning
In preparation for your next Analytical Assignment session you should think about...
- Identify the next point you wish to make about the representation of alien visitors or women in the sci-fi films we've selected.
- Identify the film & scene that you will use as evidence to illustrate your point.
- Identify the technical codes within the scene that prove your point (using technical language - use the Analysis Tool handout and the Film Terminology Revision page in the sidebar).
- Consider the impact on the target audience.
- Compare to another scene in one of the other films. How is it similar or different?
If you do this, you won't waste controlled hours thinking about what to write, only about how to express it in an essay.
