- Reading: Rabiger, M. (2004) Directing the Documentary, London: Focal Press. Ch.9 Critical Writing (NB useful for Presentations).
- Benefits of writing and the way it helps you go further. 'Analysing a documentary and writing about what you discover makes you pay close attention to how every aspect works. In some strange way this lets you take possession of a film. To write is not just to report on what you know, but to set about discovering what it is you don't know. Writing forces the mind to examine itself and then go further.' By writing you travel towards your personal reactions, tastes, impressions, feelings, memories and associations.
- Academic writing norms and how to write effectively. Your writing should be in clear, direct, formal, active-voice prose that is well structured, develops your arguments logically, and supports each assertion with concrete examples from the work under review. Reflect on what others have said. Give detailed examples from the films or texts to illustrate your views, but doesn't assume the reader knows the films in any detail. Seek support from its views from other critics but take issue with aspects with which you disagree. Give references, either as footnotes or endnotes, for any ideas you have borrowed or any quotations you have reproduced.
