Great way to form a section c question

• The names of the film’s directors and the year of the release is mentioned early on
• The question is addressed in the opening paragraph
• The keywords in the question are referred to throughout the essay
• Good detailed reference to the film has to be at the core of any answer. Try to use sequences.
• This must have some indications of the use of film language – mise-en-scene, cinematography, editing, sound and music. 
• If you don’t do this many examiners will view your information as mere description.
• If the question has the word narrative in the title – you must refer to narrative. Use the language to underpin this – i.e. resolution, closure, structure, cause and effect, pace, linear/non-linear. An understanding of narrative and the way it functions should be at the centre of your response.
• Representation is also an issue that should be employed in your answers. This could focus on individuals, groups, location, America or gender. 
• If necessary also refer to genre; in terms of conventions, iconography and expectations.
• Wider contexts need to be employed in your answer. How are these films American? What influence does the time in which they were made have on these films? What events are they based upon?
• You must compare and contrast these films directly. Look for points where these films share distinctive elements and also if possible where they differ.
• Give your own opinions of the films – linked to what needs to be discussed in terms of the question. Support with reference to the films. 
• Try to ‘think outside the box’. Candidates who offer more thought provoking responses tend to get higher marks. 
• Write a short conclusion that draws you and the examiner back to the terms of the question. Remember that this is the last thing that they will read before they put a mark down.
• Three to five sides should assure quality and quantity.

WEEK 27 HOW FILMS GET TO THE THEATER

Dreamworks Boss thinks in the future people will be charged for a film on how big the screen of the media device is.

I don't think this would work as people who have 51 inch screen tvs have already paid a high price for the tv and will not want to continue to invest in such high prices. People would be forced to watch on smaller screen such as their phones which he claims could cost around $1.99
