You will need to be able to refer in detail to some key scenes in the exam.

You can decide for yourself which are the key scenes, but you won't go far wrong if you explore these ones. The ones in bold are particularly important so make sure to analyse a few of those:

1. The Tale of Princess Moanna and meeting Ofelia (0.0035-0.05.20)
2. Ofelia tells her brother a tale (0.10.48-0.13.38)
3. Vidal kills two rabbit hunters (0.13.39-0.17.08)
4. Ofelia meets the Faun (0.18.56-0.23.34)
5. The book and the birthmark (0.25.08-0.27.19)
6. Ofelia and the Toad (0.30.00-0.31.35 and 0.33.46-0.36.42)

13. Mercedes escapes (01.27.27-01.32.11)
14. Ofelia poisons Vidal and takes her brother (01.37.23-01.39.11)
15. Ofelia caught between the Faun and Vidal (01.40.25-01.42.17)
16. Ofelia's death and revival (01.43.43-01.47.28)

As you look closely at the scenes, remember to make sure your notes cover the 3 Core Areas this unit includes:

1. The Elements of film
2. Meaning and Response
3. The Contexts of film

The exam questions will ask you how the contexts and elements create meaning and determine response.

Here is the blank sheet you need for analysing the key scenes. The boxes will expand as you fill them full of excellent notes.

Below is a table which maps the key scenes to the elements of film to help you ensure wide coverage:

Here are some really useful presentations made by students which take you carefully through some key scenes:
