Media study instructions

Pay careful attention to the short film as it plays through. As you are watching, look for examples of plot structure being revealed. Hint: The exposition takes longer to build in media than in actual text form, so pay careful attention to transitions. Hint: There are usually minor conflicts that lead up to the overall conflict of the story - watch for all types.
