Assessing: What did I learn from this?
You should have learnt (A) the definitions of a series of film and media terms; (B) how to recognise them in films and (C) how to explain why they are there, what and how they are meant to make you feel. If by this stage you can not address this and the other information questions (selecting, organising, etc) to a high standard go back and read over the information on the relevant pages and try a source or sources that you have not already tried. Good sources of practice questions and exercises are the following books and digital objects.
Moon, B (2004) Viewing terms: A practical glossary for film and TV study. Cottesloe, WA: Chalkface.
On pages 15 to 29 you will information and practice questions relating to camera angle, distance and movement. See if you can use the index of the book to find information and practice questions relating to other film techniques such as lighting, colour and sound. This very comprehensive and authoritative book contains much more than you will need so practice selecting only what you need.

This is one of the resources created by the DEC for teachers to use. While it is very engaging, interactive and contains some information that you will not already have, it does not mention a number of things that you will need to know, such as some camera shots and angles. Nevertheless, it contains many quizzes that will allow you to assess some of what you already know and it allows you to role play. The same goes for the following resource.
