Welcome to year 12, class of 2016! I hope you had a good break, because it’s time to hit the ground running!
Congratulations on making it through your first assessment task – the persuasive oral presentations. We will now be studying All About Eve for the next few weeks.
Your homework for next class is as follows:
- Finish making notes on your scene from All About Eve and be ready to present your findings to the rest of the class at the beginning of our next lesson. I have included a copy of the questions below if you still need them.
- Read through the Introductory PowerPoint on STL Link: Introductory PowerPoint. In particular, make notes on any terminology that you are unfamiliar with and how they relate to the film. You do not need to write answers to the questions in the PPT at this point, but you should definitely spend some time thinking about possible answers. (PDF Version is available here: All About Eve – Introduction)
- Familiarise yourself with the materials in your showbags, and please remember to bring the spiral-bound script and booklet to each class.
If you have not yet done so, remember that you should have watched the film at least twice by this point. Make sure you are very familiar with the characters, plot and narrative structure.
Scene Questions
Part 1:
- Who is in your scene?
- What is happening in your scene?
- When does your scene occur?
Part 2:
- How does this scene drive the plot?
- Comment on the mise en scene (including camera angles, lighting, costume, technical aspects and any symbols)
- How does this scene connect to one or more themes? (use quotes were possible)
