Written Textual Analysis - Monday 6th June

What's to do?
Today you must organise the excellent ideas you gave in class last week and write up a textual analysis of the opening to Eden Lake.

Steve's just been told he needs to complete his textual analysis by Friday...

Format?

• You need to produce this in a word document with the title Eden Lake - Textual Analysis
• You need to write in full paragraphs, and should organise your essay by using the note sheet given last week (each heading can be used as a new paragraph)
• You should include an introductory paragraph which outlines the film, what it's about (briefly - one sentence!!!), its genre, who made it, when and where it was made
• You should aim to write 800 words approximately. (Anything significantly less will likely not be detailed enough to show a satisfactory understanding)

How will it be assessed?

• You will receive a mark out of 25
• The handout provided will show the mark scheme. (We will read this together in class)
• The best pieces will show an excellent understanding of how meaning is made through film, will use film terms accurately and in detail, and will show an excellent understanding of how the extract relates to the film as a whole, as well as an excellent awareness of the film’s genre and/or its place in a broader sociocultural context

Deadline:

• You have all of today's class to write it. It must be mailed complete by Friday 10th June to pwise@stgeorge.org.ar
