Module 2 Preparation

Your revision/preparation for Module 2 re-sit in January (only a few of you) should be...

  • Read through all notes, handouts and past essays on the key texts...
  1. Film & Broadcast Fiction - 'Bullet Boy', 'City of God', 'Curb your Enthusiasm', 'Eastenders'.
  2. Documentary - 'Bowling for Columbine', 'Big Brother', 'Man With a Movie Camera', 'Triumph of the Will'.
This includes all the general handouts on documentary, soaps and sitcoms, etc. You can download study materials on 'Bullet Boy', 'City of God' and 'Bowling for Columbine' at Cineschool. Also, put any of the texts into Wikipedia - it usually has good background info/links.
  • Try to watch the texts again. A lot are available online - just click on the links above.
  • Make new notes on each key text (above)...your own mini-revision guides, focusing on the Key Concepts for each one.
  • Re-read Module 2 revision pack.
  • Revision of MIGRAIN - key questions to ask, keywords/glossary + film language worksheets.
  • Read through all 'Film & Broadcast Fiction' & 'Documentary' past questions.
  • Write essay plans for as many different questions as possible.
Complete as many timed essays as you can (45 minutes/question).

And as with Module 1 - you can bring in any hand-written timed essays during the one and a half weeks when we return after Xmas to show to your teachers before the exam on Wednesday January 17th immediately after the Module 1 re-sit.
