Ages

16+

Duration

Short (1-4 activities)

In this range of resources, Film Studies teachers will find activities specifically designed to introduce set texts to their learners. Focusing on key areas from the exam specifications, students will be introduced to ideas about the film, analysing selected sequences and looking at film stills. Teachers are encouraged to use these activities before, and immediately after, screening the entire film. The final slides of the PowerPoint offer extension activities and ideas about how to continue your study of this film. 

In this PowerPoint, which introduces District 9, students examine the concept of ideology thinking about how filmmakers communicate their viewpoints and whether there is more freedom for filmmakers outside of Hollywood. Conflict is examined through the narrative theory of binary oppositions.

Updating our resources

We have developed a large catalogue of educational resources since launching in 2013, and some references and terminology will inevitably have dated as society and language evolves. We are aware of this and will be updating resources when our production schedule allows.
