Film Analysis Directions

In the Ad Analysis, a couple of students didn't address the advertisements directly, which affected their score. Someone can write a fantastic essay, but if it doesn't follow the prompt (or directions), then it misses the point.

So...if you are lost on the directions for the Film Analysis, ask me!

Following directions affects the score, no matter how great the essay is.
