This document outlines the aims and outcomes of a revision class focusing on analyzing micro features in TV dramas. The class will have students list and categorize micro features, storyboard a TV drama scenario using key micro features, and label and evaluate micro features from a selected drama extract. Warm-up activities include listing known micro features and scenarios for storyboarding. Students will then choose a drama extract to print screen, label camera techniques, and analyze their narrative purposes.
