Please Read this from the 2nd Paragraph. There are some very good quotes in there.

For example:

"Often it is out hatred of certain characters...that keep us riveted to the screen."


"It is surprising to what extent darker emotions like anger, hatred, and revenge provide the cement that holds our attention on the popular movies we consume."


These would be very useful when discussing certain characters from both AHX and CRASH (2005).

13 FILM STUDIES - Reflective analysis

The 'Reflective Analysis' should be approx 1,000 words 

It should include/discuss: 

• How successful the work was produced in terms of meeting its aims and context. Themes, issues, style and music should be assessed in terms of appealing to its target audience. (Refer to key films and filmmakers/screenwriters whilst also highlighting and defining your intended means of exhibition - arthouse/mainstream/film festivals etc)
• How well you utilised certain styles, techniques and methods of production in your work. What was successful, less successful and/or unsuccessful in your intended aims (refer to your aims and context: be critical of your own work). 
• Give a critical account of exactly what your role was in the process and discuss; difficulties encountered in production (technical or group dynamics). Assess your own abilities; strengths/weaknesses. Refer to elements that you have altered to meet its aims.
• A discussion of what you have learnt about the filmmaking process and the difficulties that may be encountered by undertaking this practical exercise and a critical reflection of the whole process. 

The supporting written work for this assignment should be detailed, concise and show a good grasp of all elements of the filmmaking/screenwriting process throughout. Your ability to identify styles, techniques and influences on your work should reflect a strong understanding of the chosen form you have worked within.
