Get to know your camera angles

Being able to discuss Look Both Ways in terms of 'how the director constructs meaning' is important. To do this successfully you need to be using metalanguage in your discussion. While many metalanguage terms work for both written and filmed texts, film also has its own unique terms for discussing it. Familiarise yourself with the language used to discuss film at these two sites.

It would be fantastic to see students post a selection of the glossary terms you were asked to set up in your folders. It was an ongoing activity that required you to detail the definitions with examples from Look Both Ways. Typing up your notes to present on the blog is an excellent method of revision.
