PRISON BREAK: TV DRAMA

We continue to study good exam practice techniques: how to access level 4 marks using the three point strategy:

• identify terminology (10 marks); use technical terms
• give example in detail (10 marks); use adjectives, adverbs to 'paint with words'
• explanation, examination, argument: how the representation is constructed (20 marks)

In class, we revise terminology: match cut, master shot, establishing shot, VFX, focus pull, two shot, three shot, posture and gesture, casting, rim lighting, tracking shot, close up, shot / reverse shot, the use of silence, the use of dialogue, how music makes meaning, how the audience's emotions are manipulated to see the protagonists as worthy / admirable; in a two-shot, who has greater power.
