This resource is suitable for use with learners aged 15 and over
and includes themes of public image, online personas, identity,
comparisons and anxiety. Curriculum links include PHSE/RSE,
English Language, Media Studies and Film Studies.
This lesson will introduce learners to the theme of comparisons and
how comparing ourselves to others can make us feel. By looking
at the character of Kayla in the film Eighth Grade students will be
encouraged to consider the potential negative impact of media
images on body image and confidence. The selected scenes are
included to explore feelings of anxiety that can be associated with
comparing yourself to others. Young people will be introduced
to aspects of performance and the use of sound to support their
analysis of the protagonist. Learners will be asked to reflect on
Kayla’s thoughts and feelings and offer alternative words for positive
self-thought. The optional filmmaking activities build on the ideas of
positive self-talk as well as the power of music to reflect mood and
emotion in film.
This resource is a PSHE lesson covering topics within media literacy and digital resilience for ages 14–16 through class discussion and an option for filmmaking.
Students will analyse a film which focuses on social media, bullying,
privacy and consent to consider how we present ourselves online and
how this can affect our lives offline. Students will have the opportunity
to reflect on their own experiences with digital media and to speak
about the importance of being critical of the things we see online.
This resource is suitable for in-class teaching and learning but could
also be adapted for home learning or a blended learning approach.

Into Film has partnered with the Industry Trust for Intellectual Property Awareness and the Intellectual Property Office for the second year, to produce a new resource for Primary students.
Intellectual property supports creativity, innovation, and has an important role to play in both the UK economy, and the creative industries. That is why we're committed to ensuring children and young people are fully aware of exactly what IP is, why it's important, and how it links to children's own creativity and filmmaking.
This resource introduces key ideas of intellectual property and copyright, enabling learners to explore concepts of creativity and ownership in relation to film. By becoming creators themselves and exploring the different roles involved in making a film, the activities encourage children to understand and respect intellectual property and want to preserve it in the future.
