  1. A vast improvement in your use of media language, your references to examples of mise-en-scene and your focus on the use of binary opposition.

    If you include any references to this music video in your evaluation or in your examination be more specific about:

    1) Straus' theory of binary opposition in that this visual style drives the narrative.
    2) Also you could make more of the use of montage in that it is a symbolic association of ideas in this case the use of masks which indicates conflict, the occupy movement is mainly made up of young people protesting about inequality. Google "Occupy Movement use of Masks".
    3) Genre (you can reference other media theories. The aggressive male performance and shouting of the lyrics is specifically associated with heavy metal bands.

    Well done Connor, indicating growing confidence with analysis. A proficient analysis with helpful links to the theory of narrative.
