GCSE Film Studies Revision booklet

(0)
This booklet is designed to cover a broad range of topics and ideas related to both GCSE Film Studies exams. The tasks are designed to be open to all and every film choices and designed as actual revision tasks, but ones that get harde and more indepth as the tasks develop. This booklet then works best when you already have studied the individual films and topics needed and just need to revise those key ideas in a practical manner. Your download will contain 3 versions of the same resource: a HQ PDF, an editable Word version and a highly useful PPT version. Overall though, this document contains work for at LEAST a months worth of lessons if students were revising every day and if used in classes, probably enough for an entire TERM. Take a look here if you’d like to see what the whole thing looks like. Throughout you will see references to ’30 Days of Film Revision’: the original plan was to include 30 different tasks that could be completed one day at a time leading up to the day of the Component 1 exam. There are actually 31 activities in total now, in part because I added an extra day to relax, but also to include additional material that focuses on each exam in specific focus; these are the final “exam on a page’ resources you will find on pages 31 and 32. When designing this booklet, I have done so with the methodology of recalling more generic, broad ideas at the beginning and then eventually becoming more focused and nuanced on specific films and possible exam questions. I also incorporated techniques related to spaced learning, interleaving and dual encoding and for this reason it may seem as though the tasks and ideas are being repeated or are revised once and then pop up again later on. Finally, I find this booklet works best when printed and photocopied to A3 size allowing for more space to write, but it was designed and therefore works well, at A4 size, ideally as one complete booklet with a page completed each day.

Attack the Block GCSE Film Studies scheme of work / revision / viewing booklet / e-book

Written by an experienced examiner and consultant, this booklet on Attack the Block, directed by Joe Cornish in 2008, provides a huge range of activities. If you’d like to take a look at every page of this resource please look at my Profile on here and follow the link to my SlideShare account OR Google Ian Moreno-Melgar+SlideShare and take at look at my ‘DOCUMENTS’ page. Some of the work includes: the context of the production of the film, London, social housing, gang culture and the London Riots of 2011. Also includes key facts and information on the making of the film and systems for keeping notes during watching with templates using the Cornell notes system. There are also in-depth details on key scenes, dozens of screenshots from the film as well as images from other relevant areas that have influenced the film. You will also find a range of screenshots and screen grabs from other sci-fi films such as Blade Runner and Aliens. There are also screen shots from British films such as Harry Brown and A Clockwork Orange to aid and support the work on comparing film texts. The booklet also contains dozens of activities for students including mock exam questions, comprehension questions on location, characters and more. PLUS: guidance on how to analyse scenes from the film using hexagaonal learning and summary sheets to help with revision. Key scene analysis include links to the specific scenes or extracts, hosted permanently on YouTube, so you don’t even need a copy of the film to complete some of the tasks-again, perfect for students to complete! Many of the tasks included have also been designed to be peer or self assessed and there is a wide variety of solo work, paired work or group work catered for, with each activity described in detail at the beginning of each task. Your purchase will be for one zip file that contains Microsoft Word and Mac OSX versions so that you can edit and do as you like with, as well as unmarked PDFs ready for printing. This booklet has been written so that it can be used in a variety of ways; print and use as a ready-to-go scheme of work in a booklet. Maybe give to students as a detailed homework that can be completed alongside your own classroom work. It also works great for revision, either with individual task printed or again, as a whole booklet. Try printing individual pages as starters or plenaries, or even using the tasks as engaging resources for lessons built around key ideas of your own. This guide / ebook is designed to help in the delivery of GCSE Film Studies, focusing on Component 2 Global Film. This guide focuses on the key aspects of Film style / aesthetics as well as film language, as per the Eduqas Specification. Many thanks for taking a look and for any future purchases!
