This is new to the UK curriculum, but I taught it from 2005-2011. Students fell into two groups: loved it or hated it There is a work book, and three PPTS - all updated and linked to the UK boards. Essay question, auteur theory specific to this film. Dips quite deeply into the how to make meaning of this films, However, I have assumed two things: teachers know how to teach film, and students have some basic cinematic teaching/knowledge. I would never suggest this is the first film to kick off with an A Level course If I update anything and you can not access updates - please message me so I can send it to you for free.

This is targetting OCR media A Level music video [ MV} The links are current at March 2024 - but you will need to update the MV set text SUN GOES DOWN from youtube yourself - the offical version is the one referred to As a point of comparision The old town road is suggested: to understand a bit more about the artist The resouce introduces shot/camera/costume exploration, and detailed lyric exploration while reflecting on the artists role in hip hop and as part of the LGBTI community and conflicts with hegemony. It does contain a bad language warning - and a reminder that this MV does refer to thoughts of suicide. OCR chose it - not me !!! This PPT spreads over 4-5 lessons - with writing tasks ege 4 - 5 hours -

This is a whole introduction unit for All About Eve - targeting Eduqas and WJEC : It does assume two things: one the teacher has some experience in teaching film and the language of film for GCE. and that the student has already had some basic film language taught Of the new films, this really is one of the easiest that is going to write up well. As Old Hollywood, it’s a bit of a gift, using stardom, studio power, it’s Academy Award status, the cinematography and performance, costume and of course, dialogue

This resource is the first stage teaching of MOONLIGHT. I have focused on the assumption that students are grounded in the language of film. Ideology is over 2 PPTS - an includes a clip from BAD BOYS 4 [ 2024] as it is set in Miami and shows a contrast of hyper masculinity! PPTS 1- 3 are in teaching and viewing order There PPTS on Chiron/Black and Juan, Cinamotography, theory, the film playlist ( sound is linked on ideology] and a genreic film screening template which I print on A3 - two copies per student, a PPT in theory linked to MOONLIGHT This will be added to maybe, after September 2024, and if you see something added , please message me if you can not access for free after your first purchase!

This is the first lesson in introducing CASABLANCA. The purpose is to introduce the philosophy behind a study of Classical Hollywood, specific to the a Classic film! It avoids getting ‘lost’ in a history lesson, but introduces some key terms, such as The Vichy, and challenges students to see the film in the film’s era and context of the emigree experience, and make links to the current emigree issues. It introduces some key film language which students will have to use in essay and exam writing - and has the link to the opening titles - which is viewed at the start and end of the lesson The PPT|S encourage discussion, students led note taking, and summarising. My expectation is students will have 2 sides A4 of their own notes ,and I would hand out the stills of the globe and maps.

I am providing this free as an update! November 2024 It is in the complete work unit - but I want to make sure anyone who bought the unit gets this free too!
