So far, the feedback from the class, your ability to identify and explain the effects of different elements in Seven, has been really very good. This means I expect great things from your oral presentations on Seven!

Seven - Oral analysis:

what you can expect if you do not prepare
you Oral presentations thoroughly

• It will count towards 50% of your exam grade for the third trimester.

(The other 50% will be based on your final documentary and the documentation you provide (script and production journals).

• You will work in pairs, and be assessed together. So you need to ensure you both work together effectively, dividing up the work equally.
• You need to agree on an extract of no more than five minutes from Seven. You need to check with me and I will reserve that extract for you if it is acceptable.
• No two pairs can work on the same extract.
• Your oral presentation should last between seven and ten minutes, and you should not play your extract within this time.
• You can use screen shots or stills from your extract to better illustrate your ideas, although this is not necessary.
• You may bring in notes for reference and guidance, but you may NOT read from a prepared document.
• You need to all bring in pen drive with at least two GB of space to have a copy of the film you can study at home.
• You will have some class time to study, plan and practice, but you will be expected to work at home on this as well, as if you were preparing for an end of year exam in the exam hall.
• The oral presentation will be delivered in class during IB Film lessons, dates to be confirmed next week.
• The pairs are:
  Honorio and Ramiro
  Viveka and Carlos
  Giuliana and Tomas
  Santos and Manuel - chase scene: Mills vs Doe; reserved
  Sabrina and Ernesto
