Suitable for middle to higher ability GCSE and AS students.

This pack contains; - 76 slide PowerPoint covering the media focuses listed below - class tasks/ discussions - homework tasks - 3 exam style assessments with marking criteria provided for each (inspired by the AQA GCSE Media syllabus but easily adaptable for your own spec) - teacher notes Covers- - denotation and connotation - dvd cover analysis - mise en scene - music and sound - mode of address - genre conventions - ideology - camera shots - institution - narrative - representation Note: you will need to screen the documentary which is around 80 minutes long so ensure you have adequate time. I also strongly advise you to watch it yourself prior to teaching the unit- it is a fantastic and inspiring documentary which will inevitably provoke debate among your students. It is important not to read anything about the documentary before watching.
