    Hi Chene

    Total: 31/50

    Terminology: 6/10
    Argument/ Analysis: 13/20
    Examples: 12/20

    You were on point for many of the main points you had written down. Just make sure to include all 4 tech areas and all the DETAIL from what you observe in each shot. You spoke about some of the detail but mentioning things like the use of mirror in the beginning, the lighting for mise-en-scene, editing techniques used (flashbacks/ montage) etc, there are some details that aren't here.

    Also, you are on the right track with representation and groups you identify are being represented. Keep statements strong and concise and then fill in the rest of your paragraph with examples from the text. So not too much waffle and trying to explain it, just lots of exact detail and analysis from the text.

Thriller brainstorm: Rationale: Chene Harris Brain storm: Asylum Characters that I have chosen are a mentally ill patient and a news reporter. I chose the mentally ill patient as one of the characters because he gives off a crazy unfit sense of feeling and us as the audience get more curious as to what he may get up to in the next few scenes. The news reporter being character two was chosen because a news reporter gives off an alert or a curious sense of feeling as to what she may be publishing, especially since the news reporter is on her own in an asylum... I based my scenes inside of an asylum because I feel that an asylum in the middle of the night is quite scary but not too scary for a horror. The asylum also gives off that crazy mental sense of feel. During scene one we start off by listening and watching water drop from a pipe onto the ground from quite a distance away, as the camera moves closer the droplets become more visible and they become louder. As we m...
