This 'cheat sheet' briefly covers some of the most important concepts for writing about genre, narrative and representation. This has been created in mind for the A2 Media/MS4 'text' question (
Skyfall, The Selfish Giant and
Brave), but this is still useful for the AS Media/MS1 questions on 'textual analysis' and 'representation'.
You might not have covered every theory/concept (especially if you are AS), but don't worry. It's not a definitive list, more a prompt for revision!
