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

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!

Whilst this targets A Level OCR it can be used for any board for revision: the PPT takes students through the basics of ACT 1, what really is the absolute minimum of expectation of knowledge [ teaching!] It could be used as an online self paced module - it does have writing tasks and esssay question - a student could use this if they are concerned they need more than they have been taught, in progresive linear format

This is a stand alone lesson - it would take 2-3 hours to complete - it could be set for online, or if a student feels they need more than they have been taught - this is what revision should look like and could be done collaboratively online It is is best teacher led and requires a teacher to have a sound knowledge of the play Contains essay task - suitable for OCR but this will work with any A level board

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 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 collection of resources compiled over the past 15 years! They are a combination of teacher led, homework, group work, suiting lower to higher level groups. Some is very much stand alone lessons, and they are resources I dip in and out of yearly, updating and changing as cohorts bring new challenges or ideas. Macbeth has been my old friend since my A Level days, in another century - I hope you find something in here useful!

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.

Kia Ora, Exam prep PPT added 2024 UK series updarted Janu 2024! too with three new PPTS including one which gives a short but important factual details about NZ/ being Maori and Jewish which is Waititi’s background! One linking gender and humour in the film there is also and update from June 2023 - added a sentence starter PPT for exam revision post the Summer 2023 UK exam series this resource has been re-written for the new eduqas film studies GCSE set texts global - and I am excited! I lobbied for this film to be considered so YAY! The workbook has been updated [ april 2022] and has a detachable back page if you want to avoid the spoiler of Rosa. 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. I will be uploading more questions in August 2024

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

This is a 20 slide PPT suitable of AS Level revision wit a focus on: humour context types of poetic style in the tale It has 7 questions that if answered in paragprahs will consolidate learning This is NOT an introduction PPT - it is REVISION

The poems are for AQA Crime They are for teachers who know how to teach poetry at KS5 and they are sectioned to work through in an order building knowledge Browning then Wilde than Crabbe These PPTS do NOT focus on low level line by line analysis but link to higher order thought - deep links to the AO’s : if students do not write to the AOs they get lower marks. Teachers are advised to review these - this is not self paced work, not suitable to post as work from home - more suitable for students who want and work towards A* A B or a higher C

This is a series of 5 knowledge organisers which build sequentially from each other introducing the form of the play, acts, context and moving onto the complicated ideas about how/if this is a comedy. The 5th organiser focuses on Kates Act 5 speech and 3 of the organisers have prompt essay questions. I have also attached a teacher viewing sheet of online video verision which had working links checked in August 2022 - obviously these can change I also attach a copy of the 2012 Guardian review which is a helpful tool for classroom discussions.

UPDATED March 2024 addition Gender (and disabliity) passing If you have bought this earlier and can not access the NEW additional PPT message me - an addition is a PPT of 2-3 lessons including essay topics, extended writing and short reseach task making explicit connection to the Bible from the text Resouce 1 This has a 55 slide PPT which introduces the novel - it is structured in sections and a teacher could use sections in any order It also contains four slides of guided reading questions which will help students read the novel and allow teachers to check progress Some theories are introduced eg Afrofurturism queer theory There are discussion breaks throughout, and suggested essay tasks which a teacher can choose to make in to long/short writing - or pair share brainstorming This is provided on the assumption that if you are teaching this novel you know it :) resource 2 This is a selection of excerpts and introduces extension ideas of Nihilism and Kant

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 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

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 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 -
