u make it sound as though you have to be really familar with all the episodes...not just a couple......IS there a limit as to how many episodes you mention?Originally posted by timmii
Anyway...rather than watching episodes as discrete, separate entities, try to find some recurring themes and structure your notes that way, and under each train of thought also put in some examples from your related material (remember you do need to refer to other stuff!)

I was told that one thing that was essential when studying frontline was that you need to refer to the 'truth' Rob Sitch et al is telling; that is 'working dog productions' truth, and then the manifested truth of Frontline (the show within the show that is) - i know thats probably dead obvious but i tended to focus almost wholey on the missrepresentation of truth by Frontline rather than the truth expressed by Rob Sitch et al in 'Frontline' and it costed me.
yes, yes i can.Originally posted by poowee
can u explain this i dont understand what u mean
yeah thats right. And then expand on the point at some point in the essay.Originally posted by kokeshi
Yeah. In the introduction of say an essay, you should mention Frontline is a satire of current affair programs.
Well they can always specify a certain episode, so knowing them all relatively well would be ideal but I'd say 2-3. Like timmii mentioned, some episodes would be more suited towards certain questions. Also that some episodes can be linked by their same/similar themes. Like Smaller Fish to Fry and This Nights of Nights - how power/influential friends/sponsors have the ability to control, suppress or manufacture truth. Frontline's ironic role as the moral watchdog yet they suppress the major bank scam and illegal Telecom bugging.Originally posted by Left-ism
how many episodes should we learn about?
really, i didnt know they could do that.Originally posted by kokeshi

see thats what i'm having a problem with- do you just pick an article and talk about what techniques are used that make it appear to be the 'truth'?Originally posted by timmii
Supplementary material is just that - it is meant to *supplement* your argument by supporting your points and giving additional examples. Don't get caught in the trap of looking for material that is *similar* to frontline - look for what can best complement your material.
