Essay title for Homework

Hi all,

Your essay title is as follows. If you missed the lesson, or need to view the film again, you need to come and see me this week to arrange a viewing.

Present a detailed reading of the climax of Hot Fuzz. Explain its appeal to you and the pleasures it offers audiences.

(You may wish to consider some of the following: narrative devices and structures, film or broadcast fiction techniques, the appeal of characters or stars, identification with themes or issues, escapism.)

I would advise you to look carefully at your targets from previous assessments, as well as planning your work in detail. Use the following links to get access to the technical websites we looked at in class:

Lesson on 7th December

Hi all,

Just to let you know that Friday's lesson will involve a close analysis of key scenes from Hot Fuzz, focusing on the key concepts of media language and narrative. I haven't set you any homework this week, but do hope that some of you have taken the opportunity to do some independent work, especially by familiarising yourself with the course outline for this unit. If not, do so please, by following the link to AllisonMedia.net on the post prior to this one.
See you on Fri!
Mr Boulter
