Presenting: How can I present this information?
When we think of presentation we are typically thinking of how the piece of information looks (for example, much more colourful and visually engaging than just boring black and white) and how it is communicated for maximum effect (for example, a speech that can win a debate). Some types of presentation that should come to mind are: powerpoints, websites, wikis, speeches, posters, multiple choice answers, essays, narratives, films, podcasts and so on.
You will most likely be expected to present your information in the form of answers to short answer questions, possibly some multiple choice, and an extended writing question (an essay or creative piece of writing) in a formal exam. The best way to prepare for this is to practise answering the type of questions that you would encounter in a formal exam. Remember, the aim is to explain and define a film technique then explain how and why it has been used. DON'T SIMPLY TELL THE STORY.
The question you must keep asking is why, not what. Why did the film-maker zoom
in on the boy's hand? Why was a tracking movement used in the particular
section of the particular scene? Why are bright lighting and orange colours used
in a particular section of a particular scene?
