This is everything that you would need to be able to teach the AQA Horror trailer task in the task bank for the moving image task. There is 1 mammoth overall powerpoint that can be constantly referred to but is too much for one lesson. Included here are: templates for all preproduction tasks showing how to do them; tutorials that pupils can run through independently. With the film logos and title screens, save them as jpegs so they can be used in the trailers.

These are lessons that recap all prior teaching about magazines and set up the assessment for Unit 1 of the GCSE specification for AQA. All are tied into the AQA mark schemes with examples, resources etc. all embedded.

This is a full lesson with the resources at the end of it that introduces the concept of branding and provides pupils with the task of rebranding their school.
