Work for Thursday 13th November - genre conventions

I'm sorry that I won't be in our lesson on Thursday. Please see the blog posts below re: the analysis of a Level 4 video we started in our last lesson and the trip to the Oxfordshire Schools Film Festival on Thursday 27th November.

In today's lessons, in your groups:

• decide what genre of film you want to do for your coursework practical
• define the genre conventions of films within that genre (what things do you expect in terms of plot, characterisation, filming, sound/music, etc?)
• find clips on YouTube that show examples of each of these genre conventions and explain what mood they create and how they impact on the audience
