Notes & Quotes document just over 2,500 – this doesn’t
include Task #1 Textual Analysis but even so it’s looking a little short
(plenty of others are at 4,000+). Hopefully this tutorial will give you
academic texts to read and analyse which will beef up your N&Q document.
Textual analysis – some good points but I’m worried that
there isn’t much detail aside from the trailer… and that will make it look like
you didn’t bother to watch the film. I know this isn’t true but be aware of it.
Go back to the original movies, choose a 1-2 minute sequence and analyse the
hell out of it. Why is it like that? What does it tell the audience?
Academic books/journals definitely the weak point to your
research. The bibliography is very short – obviously it is unfinished but needs
to be 5-6 times longer to reach the top grades AND include proper academic
sources. Hopefully the BFI trip will help with this.
Where is your Media Magazine research? Loads of references
to Horror – you simply need to take the time to go through each one and read
it/collect relevant quotes.
Why haven’t you looked at the books in DF07? There are loads
of general film books that will ALL have big sections on horror. Again, without
this you won’t get anywhere near the top grades. This will also help you get
media theory into the essay.
Search the Guardian again – you’ve got some web research but
again could do so much more.
Bibliography needs much more – keep going back to this as
you read each new text, hopefully next time I see it you’ll have 30+ sources in
there.
