2. Review THE FALL with a Picspam
While "PICSPAM" might sound negative (when is spamming a good thing?), it is actually an affectionate fan term for posting a collection of "SCREENCAPS" (screencaptures from a computer that is displaying the film, TV episode, or other digital media).
Think of the picspam as a "STORYBOARD."
Review the plot, dialogue, key shots, and amazing visuals of The Fall at this picspam. The film has been divided into three parts:
The Fall Picspam Part I
The Fall Picspam Part II
The Fall Picspam Part III (ending)

3. Allusions/Intertextuality in THE FALL
The content of a film, piece of literature, art, or music is considered a "TEXT." When one text borrows ideas, images, meanings, or symbols from other texts, it is considered "INTERTEXTUAL."
Similarly "ALLUSION" is when a text alludes to something in history, or a character or plot in literature, to a Biblical story, or to another work of art, and inserts its original meaning into the new text.
