Whether your free periods are in school or at home there are things you could do to improve your knowledge of the subject
For the coursework unit
1 - Read through class materials - either from your folders or from the blog
2 - Read screenplays (go to http://www.simplyscripts.com/movie.html )- look at how screenplays are set out and the amount of information they contain - note down ideas on good and bad practice. Also apply aspects of narrative theory - binary opposites and The Hero's Journey
3 - Read news stories and imagine how the facts can be used to generate a film - be imaginative, be creative
For TV Drama
Watch clips from programmes use BBC iPlayer (http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/tv), ITV Net Player (http://www.itv.com/itvplayer/) and 4 On Demand (http://www.channel4.com/programmes/4od)and answer the common set of questions for all TV drama extracts - which is in your TV drama pack
Wtach programmes at home to analyse too - the more often you are thinking about the concepts, the more likely you are to understand them
