Suitable for middle to higher ability GCSE and AS students.

This pack contains; - 76 slide PowerPoint covering the media focuses listed below - class tasks/ discussions - homework tasks - 3 exam style assessments with marking criteria provided for each (inspired by the AQA GCSE Media syllabus but easily adaptable for your own spec) - teacher notes Covers- - denotation and connotation - dvd cover analysis - mise en scene - music and sound - mode of address - genre conventions - ideology - camera shots - institution - narrative - representation Note: you will need to screen the documentary which is around 80 minutes long so ensure you have adequate time. I also strongly advise you to watch it yourself prior to teaching the unit- it is a fantastic and inspiring documentary which will inevitably provoke debate among your students. It is important not to read anything about the documentary before watching. If you have any queries please don't hesitate to get in touch- happy to answer questions prior to purchase, Happy teaching!
