Is using an animation as a related text a bad idea in any of the modules?
Because I think it's too late too change! should i use the same ideas but just the name of the title and change the character names but still use the same scenes etc?
will using an animation limit the number of marks i can achieve even if i completely answer the question because my teacher said that is the case hence i failed that section of the trials....

Cheers

if you analyse it well then its fine. Especially if it's a more artistic/adult motivated animation, such as some of the stuff on SBS

the medium doesnt matter, it's just how well you analyse it and relate it to your core text, I used an anime ep for my belonging related lol

Disney animations are harder because less sophisticated.

It just depends how well the animation works with the module and how many stylistic devices you can find in them.
I'm doing 2 animations for the AOS and my teacher really likes them.

What animation/module are you doing?

no it isn't a bad idea if you can analyse it well to suit the module. but it's going to be hard to find an animation which uses the exact same ideas as your current related text imo
No they can't limit your marks just because you use an animation.. animations are still related texts, maybe you just didn't answer the question properly?
