For assessment purposes, a series of bullet points is needed on the coversheet,
highlighting the following, at least:
• genre of film (or equivalent if it’s not in an obvious genre)
• whether it’s a short film or extract (and if so, whether it’s opening, climactic
sequences etc)
• target audience
• key stylistic elements of sequence (cinematography, editing)
• for A2, candidates may refer to film issues raised during their studies at AS/A2.
The example below gives a hypothetical example for A2 and includes reference to film
issues raised during AS and A2 studies.
Example: Farewell my Maltese Lady from Shanghai – film/video production for FM3
• Comedy film noir short.
• Target audience of 18-year-old, middle-class males, knowledgeable about film.
• Apply cinematography techniques developed in FM1.
• Explore codes and conventions of genre and apply theoretical work on gender.
• As director, try out directing techniques (from writers such as Michael Rabiger).
• Use Mike Leigh’s improvisational technique with actors.
