You are required to refer in detail to a minimum of two films (you have studied three).
The first of the two questions will have a focus on narrative and thematic issues.
Key Words
Subject matter
Style
Messages and values
Similarities
Narratives
Genre
Storyline
Identity (of Working Title production company)
The second will include a more broadly based consideration of areas of representation such as gender, ethnicity and age.
Key Words
Messages and values
Stereotypes
British values
British attitudes
'Being British'
Representation
Characteristics (of WT films)
All of the key words above have been taken directly from questions on past exam papers. They are some of the key words that you would be expected to identify when you read the questions for the first time in the exam.
Some of the key words came up more than once over the last few years and some of them just seem to be worded a little differently.
As a part of your revision it is important that you familiarise yourself with these key words as the chances are that one of them, or one very similar, will appear on your exam paper next month.
For each one you could brainstorm key pieces of information that would link to that key word. Perhaps a mind map would help?
