Come up with a basic storyline/plot for what will happen in your film Think about how it relates back to the text studied in class Make sure that you aren’t simply retelling the story- What original or new idea are you exploring?

Who are your characters going to be? What are they going to say? How are they going to say it? E.g. formal, colloquial, accent How can you explore your chosen ideas through dialogue? Sometimes a character can be a mouthpiece for a particular idea e.g. the voice of reason

Your use of film and camera techniques (in the same way that you would be marked on literary techniques in a story) e.g. If you wanted to make someone seem powerful and used a low angle The quality of the ideas explored in your film- are they: Original? Relevant? Complex? Your understanding of the chosen genre- if it’s supposed to be a horror movie and I’m laughing then it’s not a good thing

Your class teacher will go through rationale writing with you in class My tips Be concise- don’t waffle Don’t talk about what you haven’t done Use evidence from the text Use ‘metalanguage’ Make sure you link your film back to your text
