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 is targetting OCR media A Level music video [ MV}
The links are current at March 2024 - but you will need to update the MV set text SUN GOES DOWN from youtube yourself - the offical version is the one referred to
As a point of comparision The old town road is suggested: to understand a bit more about the artist
The resouce introduces shot/camera/costume exploration, and detailed lyric exploration while reflecting on the artists role in hip hop and as part of the LGBTI community and conflicts with hegemony.
It does contain a bad language warning - and a reminder that this MV does refer to thoughts of suicide. OCR chose it - not me !!!
This PPT spreads over 4-5 lessons - with writing tasks ege 4 - 5 hours -
