MEDIA EXAM!!!!!!!!!!!

[sisqo1111]

Do you think this is enough for a 4 mark question? thanks
150 words


With reference to one text, discuss how editing of vision and/or sound is used to structure time within the narrative? (4 marks)

Shine (1996) dir. Scott Hicks is told in a non-chronological fashion, consisting of series of flashbacks and flashforwards. Through fading and dissolving, Hicks cleverly uses this editing technique to suggest a change in the structure of time. In the opening sequence, the audience sees David as a full grown man muttering to himself in the rain. The pounding of the rain dissolves into the clapping of young children, to when David the protagonist, was a young boy in a local talent quest. This is a clear transition in time. When Peter, David’s father burns the scrapbook in the fire, the ashes dissolve into flying doves over the Royal College of Music, where David now resides. This explicates David’s break from his domineering father and a chance for him to soar.

This is really good. I just changed a few things above which i made bold. maybe aim for just a bit more than 150, maybe around 200. That should do it

Thanks sisqo, thats some good advice, cheers

[sisqo1111]

no problems, just make sure you always introduce your films like that. And underline them as well. From then on you can just write the film and year. For e.g. Shine (1996)

Oh my god i literally did that question 5 minutes ago lol. Is it just me or do you think the amount of questions they are asking us to complete in 2 hours is a little to much? I don't know if i'll able to finish it in time.

Also, that response is really good Clinton. I don't think you have any problems with expression - it was extremely easy for me to read, and rather enjoyable.

[sisqo1111]

How is all the studying going?
I'm going to see my teacher now lol. Only for a couple of hours
Hope its going well 

[clinton_09]

Because last years exam was quite lengthy and pretty tough, A+ cut off being 50.5/65

i wonder if this years is going to be easier. It has 2 extra questions but i believe they will only be short easy ones

[Amnesiac]

I hope so Clinton - it says that there is 4 for each section. I don't want an extended response lol i can barely finish the questions on time as it is.

[sisqo1111]

lo i hope their easier so we can do great and all get A+!

Hey Clinton/Sisqo, is this how i would phrase a 'Social Value' if i were to include it in an answer.

‘The social value was that immigration should be treated more favorably, notably by allowing various ethic groups to migrate to Australia with less social confrontation.’     

[clinton_09]

yep thats fine

[Amnesiac]

Thanks man, much appreciated.

[sisqo1111]

yeh thats fine.
when i introduce social values i say:

"The 'dominant/emerging' value that smoking is disgusting... blah blah blah" haha

I just did the insight 2007 and finished it in 1h 15 min without reading time.
LOL

but my hand writing was, well... you dont want to know. I gotta work on my hand writing lol.

[clinton_09]

This is one that my teacher helped me create:

A social value that was apparent during the production of the 2002 film Australian Rules was the emerging value of racial equality. The attitude that Australia should be an egalitarian society, that is that  people should be treated fairly and equally regardless of race was gathering support.

[sisqo1111]

thanks for that Clinton. My text is Sex and the City lol. But episodes, not the movie.

so i could say... "A social value that was apparent during the production period of Sex and the City (1999) was the emerging value that interracial dating is acceptable."

[Amnesiac]

Lol Sisqo what a crap text to study lol. However, i am studying the film 'Shame', which basically no one has heard of. It's not even in the list of Australian texts (1970-1980) on Wikipedia!!
