This assignment comprises three parts and is worth 40% of the total module mark. You are asked to create a video essay of 5 minutes (+/-5%, namely +/- 15 seconds) long, focusing on the topics and themes discussed in the first six weeks of this module.

The video essay is the audio-visual equivalent of the written essay. It requires you to research, plan, develop your argument and convey your ideas clearly. Your video essay can be constructed from audio, visual and textual material to build an argument and address an issue. You might use film clips, use voice-overs, still images, written work and music to create your work. A video essay is never just a collage of material. It is always the presentation of an organised and coherent argument.

Your video essay should have the same components as an essay: an introduction, argument, discussion and conclusion. Your central argument supported by original ideas and detailed analysis using examples collected through research.

The list of films you may choose from:
