In this lesson we revisited media technical terms and applied our knowledge about media language when analysing the short film 'Smashed' written and directed by Peter Snelling.
When I first wrote the essay i came across several difficulties however when redrafting my essay I over came these problems and my grade increased from a C to a B. I achieved this grade increase,by using media language such as;

• 'The council flat backdrop signifies the status and background of the characters'    

Instead of.. 

• 'The council flat backdrop portrays the status and background of the characters'

By changing portray to signify I am showing the marker that I understand conceptual language and how to use it in my essay

Here below is my completed essay; 


My targets for my future essays would be to make sure my paragraphs are structured, well written and organised. This will help my essay because I will be able to explore specific elements in more detail and then in turn relate everything back to the question.
