Obviously this is too late for your exam but hopefully this will still help for future exams on this. (BTW how did you go?)

I think It is important that you present your own strong ideas about it.
I guess film noir creates suspense, allowing the audience to question the ideas expressed in BR (I.e. Who is more human? Replicants or Humans etc etc) Basically i think you try and wield your own ideas making sure you answer the question linking it to film techniques and put it into context.

This may be late but I'll tell you anyway.
First you have to look at the social structure and the ethics involved with this movie, like the mistreatment of the environment, mysogney (sp?), the motifs etc. Then you have to relate to the question "What is it to be a human?" explain the humans VS replicants issue and compare the characters in BR to humans now.
