Answering An Exam Question:

Follow these steps when answering an exam question and you'll be rollin':


  • Directly answer the question (include words from the question in your answer)
  • Keep referring to the question repeatedly - don't forget about it!
  • Clearly state the directors of the films, and the year they were released. Remember how to spell the names too. It's embarrassing if you can't
  • Refer to scenes in DETAIL. Try to include: 
    • mise-en-scene
    • lighting
    • sound
    • camera angles
    • camera movements
    • camera shots
    • framing
    • remember that technical language
  • Add in your own personal response - such as 'I think' 'for me' 'I believe' 'In my opinion' 'with a second viewing'
  • Say what how feel when doing the personal response. If you feel: bored, confused, scared, excited, intrigued, disgusted etc… Say what you feel!
