Home Learning and Private Study due in 16.10.13

1. Redraft your response to the Dr Who extract. Make sure you address all 4 micro-elements:
- camerawork
- editing
- mise-en-scene
- sound

Include screenshots as evidence (very much like quotations) if you haven't already.

2. Read and make notes on the Post-Feminism article that was handed out.

3. Make sure you start familiarising yourself with the glossary of Sound and Editing terms.

4. Write up your response to the Cutting It extract - How does the extract construct representations of gender? (and relationships)

5. Continue reading up on the representation of women (and gender more generally) in the media in preparation for your documentary. Come to next lesson with some idea of the sources and points you'll be making.
