Notes & Quotes document just under 2,000 – this is miles behind where you should be despite the fact you assured me at Parents’ Evening last week you were up to date. To put this into context, other students are at 4,000+ and some even more.
Textual analysis is complete (Task #1) although fight scene has far more detail than opening scene. You will need more than this for the actual essay.
Other than this – research is looking incredibly weak. Under 1,500 words despite all the time and tasks over the last 6 weeks.
Good to see one Media Magazine article – put the other one in your bibliography if you read it even if you didn’t use a quote.
BFI trip will hopefully give you some more academic sources.
Just the minimum of searching brings up stuff you should have found long ago: http://www.ejumpcut.org/archive/jc51.2009/darkKnightKant/text.html
Widen your search away from the Dark Knight and look at violence in the media more generally. This will create far more opportunities for academic book and journal research. Loads of PDFs on the M: drive to read plus plenty more at BFI or even on the shelf in DF07 (Studying Film has plenty in the index for violence). Build these into your research plan – and remember you need this research DONE in the next two weeks.
Three steps
1) I will add academic research from BFI Library
2) Add more to research
3) Add more to textual analysis
