Eduqas GCSE (9-1) Film Studies introductory unit (Propp's character types) Lesson 2

As part of my suggested Long Term Plan for the GCSE Film Studies (9-1) course, i begin the course with an introductory unit in which we explore many of the key elements of the course linked to the horror genre. This then feeds into component 3 in which students can produce an extract from a horror film. By including an introductory unit, students are given opportunity to explore all of the key areas before being shown any of the set texts and so enable a deeper level of analysis when the films themselves are explored. Plus, the component 3 piece is strengthened with a thorough exploration of the genre, leaving a greater amount of time to focus on planning, filming and editing the coursework itself.

This is lesson two from the scheme of work and focuses on Propp’s character types looking at characters from different genres as a starting point.

Lessons are being planned daily throughout the summer break so please return for updates.
