Hey! You can post your creative here. That thread you tried to post in has been locked, so make a new thread with your creative in the board I linked you to.

Nope, Module B is its own thing - you only talk about Discovery in your AOS, not any of the modules.

In need of help ASAP!!!

So I've been working on my Mod C 'Texts and Society' - Exploring Interactions: 'The Black Balloon' as my prescribed text. Though the exciting part, I'm thinking of using 'This is America' by Childish Gambino as my related texts as it totally suits the module. Although, I'm having trouble with finding similar themes that could be linked between the two. 'This is America' explores the gun violence/police brutality ingrained within American culture and how it has become normalized and marginalized within society, plus, Glover uses social media as the platform where the viewers (us being the society) are exposed to the viral dances adopted from african-american culture on the foreground whilst chaotic riots are being depicted on the screen. Ultimately, sending that cinematic message of society being distracted by social media and involuntary being ignorant to real global issues... AS you can see, I'm very passionate with my related text however I need more evidence/explanation to create a conceptual essay!

Thank you to anyone who helps this desperate year 12 student !! :)

Just an update, I won't be doing 'this is america' anymore, and decided to go with 'To This Day' instead. :)

Sounds like a plan! Sorry you didn't get a hand with your post above, "This is America" would have been an interesting choice, but your new one has been around a little longer so there are probably bits of analysis you can use for inspiration online ;D

Hey! I've studied this text. A lot of the techniques are visual:

- Think of the use of colour, particularly the juxtaposition of bright reds and yellow with bleak greys and blacks
- There are literary techniques in the narration (Tim Minchin really suits the character), don't forget those!
- Lots of symbolism. Lots of excessive signage as a motif.


Remember the less obvious stuff too - Scoring/sound, camera angles, vector lines, mise en scene, plenty of little things to pick apart in that film ;D

In an essay, just two should do!

Hey,

Practice responses are the way to go! If you’re looking into study notes to supplement your responses, there’s a great template for Discovery in the notes section. :-)

What exactly are you struggling with?
