- Moments should be contextualised and linked with connectives, to demonstrate understanding of plot sequencing.
- Connotations of words and images should be linked to other examples that either compound or contrast their effect.
- More sophisticated terms e.g. ‘semantic field’, support commentary on the cumulative effect of language.
