Textual Analysis
Students in SL And HL demonstrate the knowledge of how meaning is constructed in film. This is accomplished through a written analysis of a prescribed film text, based on a selected five minute extract from that film. Students consider the cultural extract and a variety of film elements in the analysis using film language.
