Notes
Notice how each year, questions that come up are related to some of the following ideas:
- director's purpose
- how film techniques and film structure develop character or theme
- symbolism
- setting
- action
- relationships
- how film techniques and film structure develop character or theme
- symbolism
- setting
- action
- relationships
However, knowing these topics inside out is no guarantee of success. Each year, different unique elements are added to the questions which you will select from. For example;
Question 5 is not just a question about "relationships" but how it either flourished or ended.
Question 6 is not just a question about "character" but how s/he was used to develop a message or theme in the film.
This means that you must know the film and your film techniques inside out.
