YEAR 10 EDUQAS JAMES BOND POSTERS UNIT (7 LESSONS)

This 7 lesson bundle, covers representation in the Bond Franchise. Although the lessons focus largely upon the set texts of 'The Man with the Golden Gun' and 'Spectre' , an in-depth analysis is explored with regards to the 54 year+ history of the Bond franchise and it's cinematic outings/ promotional materials \ posters.

The lessons look at:

BOND BOOSTER RESOURCE:

This resource was used by me to assess students knowledge of the Bond franchise as a whole with regards to promotion and marketing. The resource is a double sided resource focusing on 4 posters from various decades in the 50+ year franchise. Side one consists of a Media Language analysis with differentiated terms to consider for a LV9 response. The reverse side looks at representation and once again has LV9 terms provided. The two questions are as follows:

MEDIA LANGUAGE ANALYSIS: How is Media language used in these two Bond posters to communicate meaning to an audience? Remember Media Language looks at codes, conventions, intertextuality, narrative theories, homage etc. Annotate around the posters in full sentences.

REPRESENTATIONAL ANALYSIS: How have these posters been constructed by the producer to portray representations of masculinity, femininity and conventional features of the Bond Franchise? Consider progressive, regressive, countertype, archetype, Laura Mulvey’s Male Gaze etc.

This resource is great as a timed assessment or it can be set as a cover task in your absence. It takes students out of their comfort zone by introducing them to films outside of the EDUQAS set texts.

LESSON 21-23:
-Recap of mediation and the term representation
-Progressive and regressive representations
-An in-depth history into how men and women have changed in the Action genre
-Laura Mulvey's 'Male Gaze' theory
-Scopophilia
-A viewing of a half an hour documentary that solely focuses on Bond Girls and their changing role within the Bond Franchise
-A lesson (Lesson 23 of the resource) dedicated to the assessment of knowledge gained and retained. The students conduct a steeped , two- part essay question on 'The Man with the Golden Gun' and an unseen text. The power point includes the mark scheme and is tailored and altered upon a similar questions in the SAM's materials.

THIS RESOURCE INCLUDES 2 LESSON RESOURCE SHEETS AND A H/W TASK

LESSON 24-26:
-Recap and further embedding of Laura Mulvey's 'Male Gaze' theory and Scopophilia
-A viewing of select clips from each of the 6 actors to play Bond (with a large focus on Roger Moore and Daniel Craig) with a task assigned.
-Considerations of race
-Msculinity
-Femininity and the Feminist movement

The lesson culminates in a 90 minute task that embeds Media Lang and Representation terms against the posters for 'The Man with the Golden Gun' and 'Spectre', which double up as revision resources. A differentiated resource for higher order analysis is also included and doubles up as an End of Term Assessment.
