This is constructed for examination purposed for the UK exam boards for A Level UPDATED April 7 2024 workbook - in word doc New addition Nov 2024: theory of trauma and idealogy [ Addition : making a link to the politics of pretty I have added a PPT which reflects students reading around the subject and idealogy - it has a quite difficult essay task but my students enjoyed it as some had read ’ women dont owe you pretty’ ] The workbook has been updated as I continue teaching this, with real world student input. I have dipped more into ideology- gender, misogyny, continued looking at the aesthetics of cuteness, and how spectator is constructed . There is a newer section on the ‘femme fatale’ PPT1 It is a focused on how meaning is made, spectatorship and ideology and the context [67 slides0 PPT 2 is focused on the ideology of being cute and #toxicmasculinty PPT 3 looks at some of the failures in the film - it’s a discussion prompt with several examples including the look alike to Bridget Bardot homage PPT1 suggests viewing broken down to 3 sessions - and has short and long writing task and some discussion breaks. It also has a selection of film shots for students to explore as well in depth of how meaning is made through soundtrack, costume, context and milennial ideas of feminism - however teachers can adapt to how they teach film /length of lessons With 67 slides - there is enough for about 10-12 one hour lessons [It does not teach basics of film, because no one teaching this, is likely be using it as their first text and cinematography basics would have been taught already! ] PPT1 has some useful links - which at January 2024 are active - and a short teaching rationale for teachers Please note I always charge very little for resources which takes hours to put together and therefore, respectfully ask you do not put my work online as your product :)

It’s 22 pages and will form an teaching and revision guide The workbook takes the students through the who what and why - and with the PPTS should get them ready to answer some questions as well as provide a solid introduction to the satire of the film, the context and filming. There are three PPTs ** see uodates now 5+ - the longest is aimed at film, but can work with an English subject eg the NZ curriculm and will fit into an extended media study of film The two worksheets are to support film viewing for any of the subjects as the teacher can select the emphasis The longer PPT has a research task, an end of module essay. Youtube markers are current as at 27/09/2020 I anticipate adding to this so please check in for updates after the UK summer 2024 exams - although this film will not be examined until 2024 by eduqas.

UPDATES Jan 2024 - New Music PPT to support CONTEXT & PPT Gender and Race - New Hollywood [ revision ] This workbook is 30+ pages to support A Level film study - for the Eduqas exams 2019 + . The PPTS have beem added to: tfor example the rise of the BUPPIE The workbook covers initial reactions to the film with some original reviews, it has sections on cinematograpy, props and costume, context and narrative, with a strong focus on Lee the auteur : celebrity auteur or ‘sellebrity auteur’. It looks into Mookie: the hero or anti hero, and the complexity that Lee wrote, directed and starred in the film. There is a model scene analysis, and prompt for students to start their own. There are plenty of opportunities for students to record their own responses, and work alone, but this workbook is designed to be used with teacher support, and peer interaction. There are discussion prompts, questions to begin paragprah writing to build into essay responses that address that this film is part of Component A - a comparative study. ( Although this workbook is stand alone and does not assume which film it will be paired with) I like these books to be visually appealing so they look best when printed in colour. Please be respectful and do not put this work on line for your students. It is a word format so you can easily modify and insert your school logo etc., if you want. UPDATED 2024

This is a workbook created for the Eduqas board current course ( first exam June 2019) This has been updated again September 2021 - with an extra 30 slide PPT reviewing context, the Hays Code, the tension between Old hollywood and Wilder’s vision, images of colour stills versus the back and white Updated 2020 and added quick fire PPTs - great for revision! It covers the broad range of ideas with the film: context, history, aesthetics, auteur, cinematography, male gaze, gender bender. It has a suggested main essay question, short work tasks, and various stills from the film It is not per se a viewing log, but should be used before during and after viewing.

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 -

A few exam series in, I have added a short PPT based on how my students wrote about Formation and scored overall near 100% on MV questions - they were pushing for links that were out of the ‘box’ and drilling down on ‘media’ the artist and the poltics of Music |Videos per se- Hope it helps Contains 4 PPTS 1] This is a 90 slide PPT introducing formation: This is a teacher led PPT and covers: Beyonce’s connection to the Black Panthers New Orleans Bounce culture Relevance of Hurricane Katrina and the aftermath Connections to Slavery Awards The Superbowl release Oblique references to policing and #BLM Costume/Mise en scene/ framing Of the 90 slides about 12 are selections from the Music Video which focus on key moments suitable for evidence for writing task evidence - there are so many frames to choose from - what is included in this 90 PPT is A selection This PPT is in a sense a generic unit - you may for example want to use the 2] DO NOW PPT which is a separate PPT at various stages interspersed in the main PPT I have assumed there is a general knowledge about cinematic terms and that is NOT included 3] PPT close analysis of 6 frames - this demonstrates to students how to use media language in dissecting frames each frame should have further analysis done by students - based on ‘I model, you know do’ 4] PPT 4 is short extension PPT on mediated histroical stereotypes of Black women

I have been teaching City of God since 2009: in three countries and this is my updated resource[s] as at October 2021 Suitable for A level, IB or NCEA Targets Eduqas A Level film - Global Cinema and assume this is NOT the first film being taught! Includes PPTs for chronological teaching ( 2) PPT for curated independent extending reading suitable for home learning PPT Cinema Novo PPTs include questions Word doc guide to PETAL essay writing for films PPT of film shots for guided analysis Links etc were checked 2021 October

This is a first run 30 PPT introduction to the film/documentary and 3 further PPTS - connecting F is For Fake Orson Welles to Exit, one asking Who is Banksy and one asking who is Guetta All have some essay questions to encourage students to think more deelpy about the complexity of fake versus fictions, authenticity, art and art fraud, and the role of graffiti It assumes it will be teacher led and the main PPT is approximately 1/2 before and 1/2 post viewing I introduce ideas about authenticity, cinema verite, voice over narration, and there is a slide in which the I list the sequences - this would be best printed for students! There are writing ideas and discussion points I have assumed students have a knowledge of the language of film and therefore the deep dives are limited to what is more unique to the documentary This should cover somewhere between 3-5 lessons excluding viewing

FILM STUDY This is a set of 10 PPTS as the introduction from first to second viewing of the film. I have assumed that the teacher leading this knows how to teach film and has reviewed the film! The PPTS use stills, and questions to prompt students to securely locate the Britishness in this film using cinematic evidence It is not however, an introduction to cinematic terms so I have assumed basics have been taught eg lighting props costume It has only a few youtube links which are all working at the time of upload This does dig into the context of era so has some challenging ideas about the Thatcher era, racism and as such students should continue to be trigger warned - a heading from the Times used is genuine, sadly.

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 a 22 page workbook to accompany the film viewing of HURTLOCKER with the spcialist viewing information from the board included. Students found this very helpful for revision and consolidating the big ideas but this work does assume students have a grounding in the language of film It hass response sections but students should build from these writing prompt sections, the basic response to anticipated film questions

This is a student workbook which allows them to view and make notes and explore in depth the ‘britishness’ of the film The work would/should occupy about 8-10 lessons I print it single sided and encourage them to build on the reverse pages there on own ideas and story boards so it become a solid revision tool for them

PPTS, work book and essay template I have been teaching Pans Lab., since 2008 and there are heap of resources out there: this is suitable for IB or A Level - I have used fo both. It is MY take on how to teach it, over 20 hours including film viewing. Th resources require teacher guidance, except the one PPT of pre viewing - this is my curated guide for students to work through by themselves before any teaching/viewing of the film! I have updated it October 2021 - if there are broken links please let me know! The remaining PPTS - are for one guided teaching and vewing, one for cinematography, and one for revision pre exam - so four in total. The work book is word doc and editable: and the word template doc is for PETAL structure paragraphs to build a structured essay for film. Do check back as I am compiling a resource PPT - eg magazines and exam questions - I have the 2021 UK Autumn papers and will be paraphrasing from and you can down load that when it is available!

This is a work book for Film studies - as the film has a high restricted rating, it is assumed this film is done in a Year 13 class after a year of film study - so this DOES NOT go over film language as it is assumed students have already been taught basics. The workbook is structured to explore auteur: Tarantino as the Director and, as Music sound track auteur which has become his trademark. It looks at trademark shots such as the trunk shot - the elliptical narrative, the role of discombobulated dialogue, the casting The work book could be use as part of a remote learning scheme, but would be better suited to explicit guided viewing. The role of how differently audiences react, hyper reality, binary theory is covered in questions students should respond to.

This is a 70+ slide PPT intoduction to Rocks; it breaks the viewing dowin into 3 slots reflecting it is a short film. The PPTs introduce various ideas about the film including it is has polyglot casting, largely female cast and productions crew, and in paticular this is British film. There are quite a few stills from the film for students to break down with an emphasis on mis en scene, and frame composition. This is one of a two part approach to Rocks for GCSE - however please note that both this INTRODUCTION assume the teacher knows how to teach film! There are short writing tasks, a check list template for students on short or even long writing tasks - some share pair work, and some background information

For Sama is a complex documentary. A talking head, set in Syria, by a citizen journalist, in which some 500 hours of footage was reduced to under two hours, and with the addition of a co-director who had never been to Syria The resource is 6 PPTs which reflect how I have taught in, not introducing the awkward question of propaganda until the last - they spread over 7 hours and do not at this stage contain revision . [ when I get to that point I will add and you can acces the new material] I have avoided the political quagmire of Syria, and suggested a fairly neutral position for teaching, but given/gave some research tasks to encourage students to find their own position, so they can address spectatorship authentically. There is a dedicated PPT to spectatorship with a range of tasks which can be oral / peer to peer or written When I do revision - I expect to allow four hours and a full second viewing but as the film is widely availale online - I also assume teachers may well set it for holiday work too.

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!

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!

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.

This is a free introduction to SPIES the Fritz Lang for Eduqs Film study - it is a support work book for the silent film section A Level exam
