This link is the unmarked one that you need to read and post a comment on what mark you would give it and why

 

And don’t forget that you have homework on the Torchwood clip as well!

Holiday Homework Tasks

Using the sheets I gave you in class you need to find out as much about our five case studies films as possible. Below this post you will find a post for each case studies where I have collected a range of resources for you to look through.  You can look at others as well.  As you read up on the case studies try to find the information into one of the boxes on the sheet - note that some case studies might not have a lot in some boxes while other will have too much to fit.  Pick the best information, write small and use the back of the sheets if you need too. Don't forget to read the booklet you were given at Xmas.  It has extra information and case studies.  You can use the information from there in the exam as well.
