200-500 words…
Reflect on your experience of presenting your research, and note anything you learnt from the presentations of others.
For the final 50-100 words, provide your new understanding/philosophy of what story is, based on your research.

Feedback for the Case Study Project Brief should have been emailed to you today. If for any reason you’ve not received it, please get in touch as soon as you can.
Likewise, if anything about the feedback is unclear, let me know and I’ll try to explain in greater detail.
Karen Gocsik & Richard Barsam. (2012). Analyzing Film. In Writing About Movies (Third Edition). New York City: WW Norton & Co. (accessible through Blackboard)
I’ve dropped a resource in the Readings & Resources folder on Blackboard that some of you may find useful. Be aware, though, and this is a big warning, that the analysis that Gocsik and Barsam are demonstrating is very specific to film. There are some parts that simply won’t work when looking at a super-experimental non-filmic object. But the general rules about formal analysis may be useful in unpacking and writing about your chosen ‘text’.
I hope everyone got something out of our first session, even it was just learning a few names!
A couple of quick notices:
- Thanks for pointing out the incorrect due date for Project Brief 2 (Research Report).
- There has been a slight change to the submission procedure for Project Brief 1 (Case Study). Upload your 500 word Case Study (copy and paste from a word processor to get the word count right!) into your student blog, and be sure to apply the category “The Story Lab.” Grab the URL (web address) of that post, and submit it via Blackboard for Project Brief 1. That way you’re submitting your work and I can get all your blog addresses all at once!
These notes have been amended in the Studio Guide, which has been re-uploaded to Blackboard, and we’ll clarify all this in class.
