i talked about its because composers subvert the traditional conventions that has allowed the genre to survive.

i talked about the death of the closed setting using agatha christie's the body in the library and contrasting that to anil's ghost and keeping the dead

i also talked about the change of the traditional role of women and the police in crime writing. i used reference to rear window saying it was the turning point of the police changing from the "bumbling fools" but were still constrained by the law. so they still depended on the amateur detective but in the end the police save jeff. women, stella is given rational thought (a key component needed to solve a crime) and both her and lisa have jobs.

the most enjoyable of all my hsc exams.

Re: Module A-Crime Writing Elective 2

I wrote about how hitchcock subverts the genre through exploration of relationships/marriage/sexuality. and hitchcocks "artistic intentions", filming techniques creating suspense!
this question was s easy with hound. Can't be bothered to write.
The Big Sleep and Lamb to the Slaughter were my related texts. Again auper easy to apply question. cant be bothered.

Imma go study CAFS.

yer i agree, you needed to discuss how composers embrace the innovative so as to subvert the traditional defenstration of the detective

Re: Module A-Crime Writing Elective 2

I really liked the question

I used Skully and the Real Inspector Hound + Pulp Fiction and the Life and Crimes of Harry Lavender. A real mix of the genre which fit the question really well.

I talked about the manipulation, subversion, extention and complete eradication of conventions.

Actually, the essay i prepared worked well with the question haha. God love the year spent preparing this. I wrote 20 pages, which is double what i wrote in trials.

That's cool you used P.F - I wouldn't have even thought of it! I'm a little disappointed I didn't watch Hot Fuzz until after exam - I would've loved to use it!

Re: Module A-Crime Writing Elective 2

My teacher thought it was a bit too experimental, but it worked well with the rest of my texts. I think she's a little too traditional lol.

My friend used Hot Fuzz. It's actually a really cool ORT for crime writing
