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. Accompanying Long Term Plan and Medium Term plan available through my shop. Any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask. PLEASE NOTE, BACKGROUNDS ON ALL TEXT BOXES SHOULD BE FINE - PREVIEW ON TES DOESN’T MATCH ACTUAL POWERPOINT.

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! Any issues or guidance using needed please email steel123@hotmail.com and I’ll do my best to look into it for you.
