Essay on "Children of Men" (2006)

Now we've watched and analysed the opening of "Children on Men"  [Wikipedia] in class in detail, you need to answer the following essay question - ON YOUR BLOG. It needs to be like a proper essay and about 1500 words long.

The title is:

"How effectively does the opening sequence from 'Children of Men' (2006) use the forms and conventions of film openings? What is your personal response as a member of the audience?"

Don't forget to use specific detail to back up your points - use the blogs and lesson notes to help you.

You should aim for a 2:1 ratio where you spend approx 1000 words on the first part of the question and 500 words on your personal response. This section is about what you personally think but you must STILL USE the theoretical concepts and ideas we have been using in class (and that you have used for the first part of your answer) when discussing your thoughts i.e. ==> not just a ramble/meander/wimper or dribblesome twaddle - but a rigorous informed opinion based on media concepts!

The Deadline is one week from the day set so:
