David Lean on Film

David Lean on Film

(0)
David Lean is one of Britain’s greatest ever directors – someone who, throughout a five-decade career, crafted films based on well-known books and plays as well as original, epic stories. He was also a master of light and shade, emotional rise and fall and, most importantly, remains one of cinema’s most compelling storytellers. His first film, In Which We Serve, which he co-directed in 1942, is a quintessentially patriotic tale of World War Two which features the first on-screen role of a young Richard Attenborough. From here, he produced more films set during politically and historically important times, and is perhaps most famed for his silver-screen adaptations of classic Victorian novels like Great Expectations (1946) and Oliver Twist (1948) which are full of the grit and harshness of the Dickens books on which they are based. Moreover, Lean continued to harness the war as an epic backdrop for his extraordinary narratives. Brief Encounter (1945), The Bridge on the River Kwai (1957) and Lawrence Of Arabia (1962) are all often referenced as among not only the greatest British films of all time, but some of the finest titles ever committed to film. David Lean directed over 15 films and edited many more, but here we have selected four films that give an insight into the breadth of his output and his undeniable skill behind a camera. The discussion points, notes and activities in this resource will enable you and your club to further explore Lean’s work, whilst sparking discussion and debate about how the films have stood the test of time, and what they can teach us about our historical past.

Understanding Intellectual Property: See What You Did activity sheet

(0)
It takes an enormous amount of skill and hard work to make a film, and we believe that this creative process should be understood, valued and respected. We want to ensure that young people understand the connection between a finished film and the creators’ intellectual property, as well as be aware of the consequences of illegal downloading and video piracy. Watch the film See What You Did with your students before completing the activity sheet. What is intellectual property? Copyright and intellectual property (IP) sits at the foundation of all film production. It gives creators confidence that they own their work, and that they will be entitled to manage the distribution of the finished product. By striking a balance between the interests of creatives and the wider public, the IP system aims to foster an environment in which creativity and innovation can flourish. Here at Into Film, we support the collective efforts of the film industry and UK government to raise awareness of issues relating to copyright infringement. To achieve this, we are proud to be partnering with Cinema First, the Industry Trust for Intellectual Property (IP) Awareness, Intellectual Property Office and other cross-industry partners. We want to open up the world of film production to young people and give them opportunities to make their own films, whilst empowering them to make positive choices when accessing films online. Our suite of resources aim to educate young people to respect intellectual property in three ways: By encouraging them to become creators themselves, thereby understanding the inherent principles of copyright and the value of work Demonstrating our belief that the emotional impact and enjoyment derived from watching a film is a tangible reason to pay to see it legally Teaching them about the multifaceted nature of the filmmaking process, through projects such as Creating Movie Magic and Green Light to Opening Night For information on legally accessing films both at home and in the cinema, visit www.findanyfilm.com.
