Set essay brainstorming
Hello
In the next few weeks I am going to work on my set essay. The topic that I have chosen is relevant to my progression route - Media & Communication, as it is analysis of the Scottie's Nightmare scene from Alfred Hitchock's film - Vertigo (1958).
Please watch the scene here:
In my piece of writing I will be considering this scene in terms of technical codes used, such as
- camera angles
- miss-en-scene
- lightning
- sound/music
Please look at my film shot board, with initial analysis of the scene, here
For my set essay I won't be using all of these film shots, but I will describe the whole scene sometimes displaying pictures to demonstrate some of the codes and conventions within the Vertigo film.
Thank you for your attention :)


Good that you have looked at ideas for your essay - please remember you are NOT describing! You are critically analysing and creating an argument in your essay!
