9B: How to structure a good analysis
1. Read the following analysis:
This documentary depicts the story of a 10 years old Iranian
boy and his family as asylum seekers, and how his experience in the detention
centre has been.
The documentary’s purpose is not just to show everyone many
families’ and children’s awful and desperate situation, but also to make us
think over it and consider helping them. Its target audience is adults and
teenagers with curious minds that want to help the unluckiest ones.
This documentary uses a range of emotive techniques, but
its affective images stand out from the rest of it. Firstly, the shots of the
hostile detention centre portray that it is an inappropriate place for a kid to
be in as it is the opposite of a home. Furthermore, the image of the toy bear,
that has been destroyed gives the impression that these policemen had no
feelings and could even destroy his childhood.
In my opinion, the most effective part of the broadcast
is its opening, where in the Parliament, Nick Clegg claimed the detention of
1000 young, innocent asylum seekers. This scene was chosen to highlight that
the story they are presenting is a completely serious problem and un-invented,
as it has been a debate theme for the ones who rule the country.
2. Now, decide what went well (WWW) and what they could do to make it even better (EBI):
Read through the checklist and see what they have included, and what they need to do to make it even better.
Read through the checklist and see what they have included, and what they need to do to make it even better.
For example:
www: The advert has been described effectively and the purpose has been described, with evidence taken from the video.
ebi: The explanation of techniques needs to include quotes from the video.
Their opinion is stated but the person needs to pick a favourite part from the video and explain its effectiveness.
