Inquiry . ACTION .  REFLECTION

Each student identifies an extract from the chosen film text for analysis. The extract may be up to five minutes in length and must be a single, continuous sequence of the film.

Each student carries out research into the chosen film text. This research should include consideration of the cultural context of the chosen film text as well as a variety of film elements identified by the student.

Each student carries out a detailed analysis of the selected extract, paying particular attention to how meaning is constructed through the use of a variety of film elements (defined above) and formulating their own interpretations.

Each student considers how a selection of the identified film elements in the selected extract relate to the cultural context of the film, to the film text as a whole and, where appropriate, to other films, as identified by the student.

As a result of the inquiry process, each student completes a written analysis of the chosen film text and extract (1,750 words maximum) using relevant and accurate film vocabulary. Each student may incorporate supporting visual evidence where relevant and appropriate.

Each student reflects on the learning undertaken in this task in order to review and refine their textual analysis ahead of submission.
