Film and Media Studies

The Film and Media Studies Toolkit aims to support teachers and students in both analytical and practical work. Ranging from analytical skills in “Film language” to a study of British Film since the 1940’s (Britpix) to an in depth look at how the film industry works, all resources are enhanced by Film Educations unique links with the film industry – allowing us to gain access to information and materials usually unavailable to others.

English and Drama

The English and Drama Toolkit acknowledges the growing importance of the study of film and the media within the curriculum. The materials in the kit address in a new, direct student centred approach topics which have traditionally been studied (such as the “film of the book” and Shakespeare adaptations) as well as new forward looking material which takes English and ICCT into new realms – the upcoming digital resources in the Poetry and Motion series (available shortly).

The kit covers the main key stages, from introductory material for year 7 through to Key Stage 4 – dealing with literacy and its relationship to the moving image.

History

The History Department Toolkit has been developed to allow students not only to study the ways in which historical moments have been portrayed on the screen but also to allow students an experience of creating their own historical documentaries, thus enhancing and enlivening their study of the use of sources, the creation of secondary sources as well as ways in which propaganda is created.
