Moving Image standard completion

Moving Images Unit standard
Note - if you talk about Elizabethan costume or dialogue you need to use specific description e.g. velvet jackets, opulent jewellery indicates wealth and status
For 1.2 it is essential to relate the text to the actual world in which it supposedly existed (this is why P.J uses archival footage of early Christchurch to firmly establish the setting and its significance to the events
For 1.1 - A main idea is a theme e.g. oppression/revenge etc NOT an event in the film.

Unit Standard 12424 - Moving Images

Most of you have made a very sound attempt at this - with just a few gaps to fill. I would recommend you view the texts again in your own time making note of specific examples from the texts (Shakespeare in Love and Heavenly Creatures) that you can use to support your statements as evidence - required to complete the standard. This exercise would be worthwhile as this is a 4 credit standard so it would be a shame to have done as much work as you have to date without achieving completion.
Keep in mind also that viewing the film/s again will only enhance your revision for the coming exams. Happy Studying!!!

Juliet

This article is about the REAL Juliet from the film Heavenly Creatures - read about her life since then as a leading crime novelist. Her books grapple with questions of sin and repentance - similar to the Main Idea in the film???
