Over the second week of the module we will be looking at Great Expectations in more detail. We will watch clips from two adaptations of the novel to see how they deal with the opening chapter. At this point we will begin to do some more in depth analysis of the choices a director makes - in this case how the director chooses to add fear to this first chapter.
Homework due in Tuesday 1 May:
1. Create a new book cover for either Oliver or Great Expectations - for either one ensure you are showing your understanding of the atmostphere
OR
2. Write a film review of the scariest film you have seen (please remember that I need to read them and the scariest film I have seen is Ghostbusters! Don't overdo the blood and gore...)
It's a choice between 1 and 2 but you could of course do both.
The next novel to analyse its adaptation to film is Lord of the Rings by Tolkien - have a go at reading it if you want a challenge.
