Make revision notes on genre.

• Go through all your notes (handouts, repertoire of elements sheets, your own research you may have done on the topic for Med 5, etc.)

• Then type out concise summaries of everything.

• Use bullet points, highlighting, italics, underlining, headings, subheadings, bold etc. to make it as easy to remember as possible.

• You obviously need to cover all genre theory (especially the BFI pack), genre quotes, history of slasher (including the significance of each of the films you've studied and how they relate to the WCs).
