research and planing: textual analysis 2 24th Sept 2013

It is vital to demonstrate an ability to deconstruct and learn from other films, to explore genre and demonstrate an ability to reflect on what makes a good film.

without it you will gain a lower mark AND make a weaker film

Today you need to research and then watch / deconstruct some of the following films

• Boy & a Bicycle by Ridley Scott
• Dear phone by peter Greenaway
• DOODLEBUG bu Christopher Nolan
• TELLING LIES by Simon Ellis
• EIGHT by stephen daldrey
• gasman by Lynn ramsey
• The short & curlies by Mike Leigh

all are on Cinema 16

you will need to add three posts and embed links to one of the three in each of of them - then in the post

1. add a synopsis of the film and the director
2. deconstruct the narrative / style and sound
3. make notes on the ideas it gives you

Use clear and suitable titles to your posts: begin with Research and planning : deconstruction - then film title/director

Be creative in presentation methods e.g. you could make one a powerpoint from slideshare, one a talking head and one a 'tradtitional' post
