AS into A2!

As I told you this morning I have looked at all your blogs [well those that had anything on them anyway!] and given you a summary of findings in class.

To summarise what you should have on your blogs before you return in September:

1. An analysis of an existing Film Poster - identifying key conventions [DENOTATION] and explaining their use and effectiveness [CONNOTATION] [see earlier post with example]
2. Your own poster for your horror film AND an analysis of it.
3. An analysis of a film review for a magazine [see earlier post with example]
4. Your own film review AND an analysis of it.
5. I will be showing you this Film Noir documentary in class tomorrow. Afterwards you need to do a post of your own of Key Conventions of the Film Noir genre [or is it a style??] [also see earliest(?) post on this blog] WITH images and / or short clips illustrating the key ideas.
6. Finally, do some research into the History of Film Noir, put the research with examples of films on a post.

Here is the link to the documentary - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GpBC3BUpbHc if it fails just type in PBS American Cinema Film Noir narrated by John Lithgow.

And have a great summer all of you, I will miss you.
