- Considered who will act, locations, equipment and props.
CATEGORIES // GENRE CONVENTIONS
Films have certain ‘rules’ they must play by to fit a specific genre. The link to the Prezi below give information of sci-fi genre conventions. We used this information in class to build mind maps that detail references to Star Wars.

ANALYSING MEDIA CONTENT // STRUCTURES FOR ANSEWRS
We’ve been talking about how to best structure answers. I’ve attached the hand out from today: star-wars-narrative-answer-structure.
REMEMBER:
- POINT: Introduce the idea you are going to discuss.
- EVIDENCE: Give an example from the film. What have you seen on screen that exemplifies the point you’ve made?
- EXPLAIN: Why did the directors make this decision? What does this show/ highlight/ illustrate / explain?
Developed bullet points are the best way forward for this. Make sure you order your thoughts logically. More information and sample answers can be found here.
REPRESENTATION // COSTUME
Costume is a really important element to consider when discussing representations. We tried to chunk up costume into smaller ideas such as colour, material, accessories, CGI and hair. Discussing these things together in a response will give you a full and detailed answer.
REMEMBER:
SQA markers will want to see specific references to the film. It is vital in written responses that you describe what you see on the screen. We’re going to use the Point / Evidence / Explain structure to make developed bulletpoint answers.
- Point: introduce the topic you’re going to write about.
- Evidence: describe what you’ve seen on the screen.
- Explain: why did the filmmakers make these decisions?
