I did it last year .. I really liked the film-making part of it but I didn't really like all the other theory stuff. :P

Yeah I really should do that (stick up random Media things around my room). I LOVE MEDIA! I think the Social Values section is easy, the Media Influence part is the next hardest, and Narrative is the most difficult. But yeah, it's my last exam too, so I'm focusing on other subjects at the moment.

Yeah I think so too! Maybe it's because I haven't really paid attention in class while my teacher was explaining it. And we did it in like first term so I forgot scenes in movies we did.

lol yeah I feel the same way, since it's my last exam I have the whole weekend before it to study just on Media. I did start studying though, like for the Narrative, I looked for scenes that I can use for specific production/story elements. Social values isn't too bad since I think the film we're studying is pretty easy ("Guess Who's Coming To Dinner?"), and for media influence it was the last SAC we did so it's still fresh in my mind. I was thinking of doing what you did with the whole notes thing ...  :o

Donnie Darko! That would have been so good to study. Don't know what Miller's Crossing is though.

I've always wondered... If an examiner hasn't seen a film, then how can they mark it? Unless they watch the film which they are definitely not going to do. Do you think they'd just mark it without knowing about the film, but just looking for key concepts and terms etc.

And Thursday 22nd? What have you got on that day. It's so late.

Hmm I think it would be the same with the English texts. Each examiner is given a certain number of films to watch/study. Because my teacher, who is also an examiner, said that examiners want you to describe the exact scenes in the movies that illustrate the story/production element. I presume that the VCAA might also allocate a number of films that schools can choose from.

Nup i know VCAA don't allocate the films because my teacher randomly picks his. Not sure what they do about seeing the films though.

We studied two great films: American Beauty, and Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho. Not only great to study, but also great films to watch. :)

No you don't! If they dont know the film they dont know if you are pulling things out of your ass or if you actually know what you are talking about!
