FILM STUDIES TEST: PERIOD 5 THURSDAY


There's really no need to scream but remember you have a test on Thursday.  You have been revising over the holidays and should feel very confident especially as I outlined what you will be examined on before we finished for Easter.

If you missed the lesson or unsure about the test please see me before Tuesday.

 This is a very important test because:

1.  It will help me know that you understand all the main ideas about films that we have been studying last term.

2.  You will know what your strengths and areas for improvement are, especially when analysing the micro features of a film sequence.  This will help you immensely as you complete your second and longest piece of coursework so far.

In brief the test will contain:

1.  A four minute film sequence (shown twice) that you will analyse and answer the questions set.  You will see the questions before you read the film sequence.

2.  A section on film genre including theory.

3.  A section on the history of film.

4.  A section on film terminology: you will need to identify the meanings of the words listed on the test paper.  You will need to place each word in a sentence of your own to show that you know how to use the word correctly.

Prizes for the best responses and also for people who show outstanding commitment to study include:

1.  DVD of Mama Mia
2.  DVD of Big Fish
3.  Alien Key Ring
4.  Planet of the Apes cut out
5.  Quantum of Solace Mouse mat
6.  Reservoir Dogs mouse mat
7.  Scarface mouse mat 
8.  Terminator poster
9.  Wolverine poster

Welcome the opportunity the test affords (offers) you to show how brilliant you are in this subject.  You don't have to convince me as I know how fantastic you are from all the contributions you give in lessons.  However, the examiner will not know this until you impress he or she with work of an extremely high standard.  Remember - it's time to transfer all your brilliant spoken suggestions onto paper.  Time to think in ink.
