Online Research for your Comparative Video Essay.

Morning or Afternoon, if you’re a late riser.

Last week of distance learning! Next week, starting Monday 8th June, you’ll be back in school and we’ll be continuing to work on your comparative video essay.

Deadlines:

Research Completed: Friday 19th June

Script Drafted: Friday 3rd July

Video Completed: Friday 17th July

Distance Learning, WB 1st June

Complete the online research for your video essay.

This should include a range of sources on your films or study focus (genre, representation, theory, film movement…). Please ensure you have at least one of each of the following:

  • Blog / Web Page
  • Podcast or Video Essay
  • Review (one for each of your films)

Check

Please use your critical thinking to evaluate the source:

  • Is the author creditable?
  • Is the source relevant? 
  • Does the source have a particular bias or mission (fan sites / videos should be avoided)

Instructions

You must spend time reading / digesting each source, which should take about an hour per source.

Part of that hour should be to complete your personal Research Record Slideshow, which I shared via Google Classroom in the week before half term.

Remember one slide per source.

Ensure this is also up to date with the research you conducted before 1/2 term and also has details of the films, reason for selection and possible key scenes for your analysis.
