This website is the first of three FREE educational resources which focus on the forthcoming film 'STAR TREK', opening in cinemas across the UK on May 8, with paid previews on May 7, 2009.

In addition to this site Film Education will also be producing two posters and an interactive educational CD-ROM . If you are on the Film Education mailing list then these will be sent to you automatically. If not then please register your interest and the resources will be mailed to you FREE OF CHARGE in the coming weeks.

The resources look at genre, mise en scène and film framing.

Interactive tasks examine:
