This is constructed for examination purposed for the UK exam boards for A Level UPDATED April 7 2024 workbook - in word doc [ Addition : making a link to the politics of pretty I have added a PPT which reflects students reading around the subject and idealogy - it has a quite difficult essay task but my students enjoyed it as some had read ’ women dont owe you pretty’ ] The workbook has been updated as I continue teaching this, with real world student input. I have dipped more into ideology- gender, misogyny, continued looking at the aesthetics of cuteness, and how spectator is constructed . There is a newer section on the ‘femme fatale’ PPT1 It is a focused on how meaning is made, spectatorship and ideology and the context [67 slides0 PPT 2 is focused on the ideology of being cute and #toxicmasculinty PPT 3 looks at some of the failures in the film - it’s a discussion prompt with several examples including the look alike to Bridget Bardot homage PPT1 suggests viewing broken down to 3 sessions - and has short and long writing task and some discussion breaks. It also has a selection of film shots for students to explore as well in depth of how meaning is made through soundtrack, costume, context and milennial ideas of feminism - however teachers can adapt to how they teach film /length of lessons With 67 slides - there is enough for about 10-12 one hour lessons [It does not teach basics of film, because no one teaching this, is likely be using it as their first text and cinematography basics would have been taught already! ] PPT1 has some useful links - which at January 2024 are active - and a short teaching rationale for teachers Please note I always charge very little for resources which takes hours to put together and therefore, respectfully ask you do not put my work online as your product :)

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 contains two PPTS revised as at February 2023 - one is a general revision to compare and contrast the set texts from Mars and Beyonce and the second PPT is a an in depth refresher on Mars uptown funk Neither need teacher support - but if teacher led would take 2-3 lessons to work through There are some exam style questions - with guidance on ’ get to the point’ style answers, stongly focussed on there are no points in waffle! There are slides with core vocab refreshers.

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 one off lesson - about 60 to 90 minutes - and has links for students to do further reading which is why it could take 90 minutes. It has some excerpts from the controversial Ed West article in the Telegraph from 2011 which no longer seems to be online Primarily this is guided lesson, wherein the student task is to summarised what they have learned and do some independant learning Either class room or online There once was a teachit resource for the two newsaper articles [ back in 2017] but you would need to source that yourself!

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.

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

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 workbook for Winters Bone suitable for Eduqas A Level new curriculum 2018+ addition to resource revision also for AS exams 2023 addition to resourcce revision PPT Feb 2021 This approximately 32+ pages - it is best used by being printed in colour. It has quite a bit of technical teaching for film - eg 3pt lighting, camera shot, costume. It is assumed that this film might be at the beginning of teaching A Level film and therfore introduces more techinical language. However, the prupose is to teach spectatorship and the work book is geared towards the Eduqas ( WJEC) a level A condition of purchase of thi resource is that it will not be shared on-line. It is supplied in word foramt so that you can personalise it.

UPDATED 20 AUGUST 2020 This is work book intended for A Level students ( film study) using the current curriculum for Eduqas (WJEC) board with the first exams 2019. ( I think it is impossible to teach spectatorship witihout acknowledging casting choices in light of#blacklives matter and the wake of #metoo) Update includes an extra page towards the end on more sound information The resource focuses on Spectatorship, but assumes that some spectatorship has already been taught. As this film has attaracted over 50!! PHD thesis - I have got this down to what I think is a manageable 25 pages ( just under 6,500 words) with some student interaction, but all the interaction comes back to what will be the key question focus for the 2019 - 2021 exams with this film - spectatorship. The key scenes I have targeted are the coin toss, and the motel scene post Moss death, with sections on camera, lighting, costumes, and of course the Coen’s and Deakin. There are many themes one could chose - I have included Nihilism, religion , ageing, law and order, as they seem the most obvious and will I hope write up well in the exams. I have not done much focus on the acting because I have assumed that any teacher would easily identify that its realism, and method with the main three! I have left this as a word document - so you can alter adapt and personalise as you wish - or not if you choose - but I do ask that you do not distrubute this online.
