Exam Question template
Below is a page summarising some possible exam questions. This will be important, as it allows us to see the kinds of topics and issues you may be asked to discuss. Whichever issues you discuss, the examiner will want to see how you link camera, editing, sound and mis-en-scene to the construction of representation.
Glossary of mis-en-scene and lighting terms

Homework Reminders
From Lesson 1, homework was to watch an episode of a drama of your choice and make brief notes on the points listed on the sheet given out.
From Lesson 2, homework was read the camera shots information sheet, then watch a short scene of a drama of your choice (doesn't have to be a whole show) and fill in the camera shots sheet. Remember: Denotation is what is literally being shown - e.g. a medium shot of two people talking. Connotation is if the shot gives a hidden meaning to what is happening - e.g. a high angle of two 'hoodies' walking down an alley could give the impression of security camera footage, making them seem sinister, even if it not mentioned in the plot.

Welcome
Hi all. I'll be updating this blog regularly with bits of very useful information relating to the Drama unit of the AS course.
You will need to create your own blog, so that you can upload any work we do in class and homework for me to check.
Mr Mariani.
