Following on from the seminar (which has been done and will be sent to the writer) produce a 3000 word dissertation with illustrations or screenshots as appendices. The dissertation will revolve around the same film and theme as the seminar and will therefore concern the cinematography, narrative and costume. Continue to pay special attention to the use of costume and display in the creation of these works and the effect or impact these have upon the development of narrative.
The dissertation must combine a personal viewpoint with a variety of other interpretations/opinions.
The work must follow the recognised academic procedures for citation, reference sourcing and bibliography: The Harvard Referencing System.
When developing the dissertation you may want to pay attention to the following:
– Historical accuracy

– Representation of status and social hierarchy
– Use of stereotypes
