Monarch of the Glen Extract, from Jan 2009 Exam

As discussed in lesson, the exam question will read similar to the following:

"With reference to the CAMERA, EDITING, SOUND AND MISE EN SCENE,

discuss how ........................ is represented in this clip."

The gap above will be filled with one of the following:

Age, Gender, Sexuality, Regional Identity, Physical ability/disability, Class/status, Ethnicity.

In the extract below, the exam board required the candidate to discuss how AGE was represented.

The exam board allows you to do the following:

• First screening: watch the extract; no notes are to be made this time.

• Second screening: watch the extract and make notes.

• There will be a brief break for note-making.

• Third and fourth screening: watch the extract and make notes.

We will watch this extract 4 times in class on Tuesday's lesson, and you will need to make notes on how camera, editing, sound and mis-en-scene aid in constructing the representation of age.
