S4 Film Case Study Homework Dec 2011-Jan 2012

AnalysisFiction Film – Case Study

1          Open the Media Studies book at page 2.

2          Read and take notes about the following:

  • Genre – p2
  • Representation key term – p6
  • Stock character / Stereotype key term – p7
  • Narrative – green box p 9
  • Audience involvement – p11
  • Camera terms and definitions p12
  • Film promotion and marketing pp16-17
  • Trailers – p 8
  • Film classifications – p22

3          Choose a film you have at home which you will be able to bring in to school. You will be watching this on your own next period. You can only watch a film which you are legally old enough to watch.

4          As you watch, take notes about your film in the following categories:

  • Genre
  • Representation key term
  • Stock character / Stereotype key term
  • Narrative – green box
  • Audience involvement
  • Camera terms and definitions
  • Film promotion and marketing
  • Trailer(s)
  • Film classification

You will find that the “extra features” section of the DVD will help you with a lot of the “how the film was made” bits.

In the New Year, you will have to make a presentation to the whole class about the film you studied as your “Case Study”. You can use a Power Point, film clips, posters, film trailers etc to help your make your points.
