Film Studies: Do the Right Thing

In this range of resources, Film Studies teachers will find activities specifically designed to introduce set texts to their learners. Focusing on key areas from the exam specifications, students will be introduced to ideas about the film, analysing selected sequences and looking at film stills. Teachers are encouraged to use these activities before, and immediately after, screening the entire film. The final slides of the PowerPoint offer extension activities and ideas about how to continue your study of this film.

In this PowerPoint, which introduces Do The Right Thing, students will investigate the context surrounding the making of the film and how it was received at the time. Students will also consider how characters are introduced and analyse the representation of women.
