This document outlines the objectives and structure of a film studies terminology test and assessment. Students will take a terminology test to demonstrate their understanding of terms covered over the half term. They will also analyze a film scene to assess their understanding of concepts like mise-en-scene, camerawork, editing, lighting, costume, setting, props, narrative structure, representation and character types. A student's half term grade will be based on their performance on both the terminology test and film scene analysis, as well as their effort throughout the term.
