Paragraph Plan:
Point - Apply the theory and it's terms, consider how much your Trailer uses/can apply the Theory (do not explain the theory)

Example - Specific description and examination of your trailer - how you have 'build' or shown this theory aspect (ie: Character MES or presented the disruption visually on screen)

Explanation/Analysis - How does the Trailer 'function' or 'work' using this theory, what Meaning or Messages does this reveal? Is it aiming to be more complex, realistic, unpredictable?
