Teachers comments
1. Great work on Shutter Island, The Devils Rejects, Usual Suspects and Splinter - very
good detail and good analysis on technical elements used and the choices made by the
director. Good clear links to audience and genre expectations. Try to be clearer with
Media terminology (diegetic sound, mise-en-scene). Some good work on The Fugitive.
2. Great work on genre – key themes and conventions identified with good use of
examples.
3. Very nice detail on your audience with clear links to research and box office.
4. Very effective script with clear links to genre and conventions.
5. Early draft of script included.
6. Fantastic, great detail and great drawings!
7. Evidence but lacks detail – you could add what action is taking place.
8. Very nice detail, good clear design.
9. Great detail on locations with good use of images to illustrate your decisions.
10. Great detail on costumes and the decisions you made. Adding images would be more
effective.
11. Great detail on propsand the decisions you made. Adding images would be more
effective.
12. Very nice detail on actors and the characters they will play. Character history is a great
addition and shows you have really thought about the different ingredients of your film.
13. Some detail added to equipment needed and reasons behind choices.
14. Good detail on schedule and key elements you want – could have been more effective if
you had a better layout.
