1. Making a Cake MCU Glenthorne High School 2012

2. Look at your recipe card ‘Make’ your cake Take it out of the oven (draw it) Now compare them- are they all the same? What other ingredients can you add? What other tins could you use? Add them to your drawing/draw it from scratch Now compare them, are they all the same? MCU Glenthorne High School 2012

3. How can we apply this to Film studies? All the cakes were very similar at the beginning because their ingredients did not vary. So far all we have studied in film studies are mainstream narrative films. If we vary the ingredients (conventions) of films and serve them up to a different audience, then we can create something very different. MCU Glenthorne High School 2012
