A: You have made some sound observations, and your analysis of Mise en Scene is strong. You focus well on representation, and your exploration of conformity/subversion of stereotypes is good.
T: Don’t make huge generalisations; ‘all black people are slaves’ – this isn’t really a stereotype, as slavery is illegal! Make sure your points all make sense – on slide 3, why does the medium shot show her as a slave? I’d argue the opposite? Slide 4 – why does the mid shot show authority? You don’t explain the connections. Really focus on showing HOW the TECHNIQUE creates representation. Ask me if you’re not sure. Try to push your analysis further and consider what the institution's MESSAGE about ethnicity is.
E: B+
