Unsupervised Lesson 16 Jan

Today you will need to write an essay. You must refer to both films we have been studying - La Haine and City of God.


The stylistic choices made by filmmakers define not just the look but also the meaning of the film.’ How far is this true of the films you have studied for this topic? 
  • Consider how camera work, editing, mise en scene, sound and performance have been used. You don't have to talk about every thing but you should talk about 3 -4 areas and give specific details e.g The choice of shot sizes and angle and how they make us feel about the characters (low angles of Lil Z = we don't like him, Mid shots of Rocket which emphasis the positive relationships he has with other = we like him, Hubbert if often in the middle of the shot which highlights that he is the leader and we look up to him), pace of editing (slow in La Haine to highlight the boredom of the characters)
  • Try to use formal language.
  • Plan out what you are going to write and then HAND WRITE you answer so I can see if you are writing long enough - should be a minimum of 4 pages. There is a planning template below.
  • If you are away you are still expected to do this and hand it in on Tuesday.
  • Remember to structure it as an essay with an introduction, conclusion, paragraphing, good spelling and sentence structure.
