This document provides questions for students to reflect on and evaluate their responses to an analysis of a film scene for a media studies assessment. The questions address using appropriate film terminology, supporting responses with evidence, describing elements of the film scene and language, explaining the effects of selected elements and how they work together, and providing feedback on the assessment experience.

1. Reflection for Film Scene Analysis Media Studies 1.2

2. Recommended use of this tool is to use these as questions on a google form as this will collect and collate student responses in a useful format for feedback and suggestions for future teaching and learning activities.

3. This form could then be embedded in your class LMS/webpage/wiki or blog for ease of student access. I embed it in our wikispace page and add a link to that page from the class moodle site.
