Hi All
Just a quick note to say very best of luck this week - I am free P1&2 on Tuesday if anyone would like to see me for some last minute advise or feedback on their essays, just drop into the Library I will be around then.
Make sure you know the films, what scenes you will write about & what critical approach you will be using for the questions you are likely to be asked
Genre - Hybridity & conventions changing over time & why (Dystopia)?
Narrative - is it C.H. Narrative or Post-Modern & why - purpose, message?
Representation - Motherhood, stereotypes or challenging them & why, Yonic/Phallic, what messages?
Themes &/or Messages - Dystopia - a warning of where we are heading based on where we are now?
Remember to back it up with close studies of your examples & the fact that they are both doing something that challenges typical mainstream values/ideology & messages in films.
Last thing - I chose these films to try & wake you up a bit to what's going on in the world & why it is to some extent our own fault for not being bothered - if you are interested look into a guy to Alex Jones, he has some documentaries which are really eye opening if not a bit radical & frightening - BUT he does completely back up everything he claims with research.
