  1. While this shows some evidence of research it is not at the standard required at this level. You need to develop this in far more detail and use images and evidence from the films - specific scenes, shots, clips of dialogue etc.

    Presentation should be reviewed - it is not advised to type directly onto the blog and you have been encouraged to use other means - SCRIBD, prezi etc. You may use video, audio or a range of approaches but text only is not one of them.
