Analysing the Short Horror Film 'The Insane' in Detail 2

After writing detailed notes on 'The Insane', we were given the title for our essay:
Discuss the short film 'The Insane' in relation to the key concepts of media language and genre.
We used the writing frame 'S- E - X - Y' to help us achieve the best marks in our essay.  'S - E - X - Y' stands for:
S - statement at the start of every paragraph
E - example to back up the statement
X - explanation (how it fits into the essay question) 
Y - your opinion (in relation to the question)

This will help me in my future essays as I now understand that I need to back up my statements with examples and my opinion, rather than just quoting them.
When finished, I will post my essay and feedback.
