• The objective here is to articulate, in response to the work of others, what you have learned throughout the course - that is, you should be able to reflect critically but supportively on both the technical processes the film-makers have brought to bear, and the sociological insight you think they have demonstrated through their films. You may wish to draw on the literature in assessing the films, and you are strongly encouraged to consider how the lecture content from the fifth lecture on can be related to the films. You should also aim to express what you believe the film-makers have gotten across to you, what you found valuable or enjoyed about how they did this, and things you think could be improved in how they went about the project.
