Lessons guiding students through analysis of existing teen dramas (need access to clips on youtube/Netflix) to then storyboarding their own. Looks at narrative structure, character types etc with examples given for both. Doesn’t cover statement of aims. Probably span over 3 or 4 lessons. Storyboard tempate from OLD spec used - can be access through exam board website.
As part of my suggested Long Term Plan for the GCSE Film Studies (9-1) course, i will be beginning the course with an introductory unit in which we explore many of the key elements of the course linked to the horror genre. This will then feed into component 3 in which students can produce an extract from a horror film. By including an introductory unit, students will be given opportunity to explore all of the key areas before being shown any of the set texts and so enable a deeper level of analysis when the films themselves are explored. Plus, the component 3 piece will be strengthened with a thorough exploration of the genre, leaving a greater amount of time to focus on planning, filming and editing the coursework itself.
This is lesson one from the scheme of work. Lessons are being planned daily throughout the summer break so please return for updates.

Part of the introductory scheme covering basic elements of film/media analysis using horror extracts as stimuli. This feeds into component 3 and would support learning for any Media or Film Studies course. Also adaptable for KS3 (though extracts would need to be changed for something more age appropriate).

This is a tracker I developed which auto calculates the grades for every assessment year 12 and 13 do throughout the year using actual grade boundaries from the June 2019 examination series. It includes mock exams and overall grades too. Headers can easily be changed if different texts have been chosen.
Hopefully this will save you a lot of time!

Here’s a booklet I’ve made for students to revise everything taught for components 1 and 2 of the new GCSE Media Studies specification for Eduqas. The booklet does not cover information itself, but rather a full list of possible exam questions for each area taken from wording in the specification, as well as some unseen comparison texts for each set text for component 1 section A. This would be helpful for students revising alongside the factsheets provided by the exam board and notes from class for component 2. This would also be invaluable for anyone wanting to make up their own set of full mock papers as there are many different variations available from the questions in here.
There is an editable version for download as well as pdf for anyone who covered different texts for component 2 (It Crowd, Friends, Michael Jackson, Pharrell and Taylor Swift were the ones I taught).
Hope this proves to be useful.
This bundle is all the resources I used to teach the Submarine unit (minus the textbooks that are occasionally referred to). All resources are editable, all key scenes are on youtube so students can access without several copies of the DVD. Includes powerpoints, song lyrics, key scene screen grabs, structure strips and more.

Includes two booklets - one for component 1 and one for component 2. In this I have broken down a variety of possible questions for each set text (opted for LOM and TB, Zoella and Attitude, Huck and WR for C2, Beyonce for C1).
This could be used as a revision tool for students - colour coding their confidence in answering each and working on the questions they deem red or amber. Alternatively this could be very useful in creating mock papers using a combination of questions from the two booklets.

This will enable you to track the progress of your students throughout the year with columns for each unit studied - two assessments per film, as well as coursework and mock exam points. This particular tracker follows teaching of component 2 in year 1 and component 2 in year two. It can easily be adjusted to meet other needs though,
All calculations are based on actual grade boundaries from the June 2019 results.
Feedback always appreciated.
Similar trackers also available for Media Studies, English Language and English Literature.
