Film Studies - Intent, Impact and Implementation
Intent: We aim to give our pupils and students a challenging, rich, and broad experience of the many genres of film texts which incorporates a consideration of national and international culture through filmmakers, context and critical work. Our students also have the opportunity to challenge their own creative capability through the creation of screenplays and short films.
Our pupils and students are given the opportunity to learn about film from its very beginnings in narrative, through the technological of silent film, for example in the ground-breaking work of the Lumiere brothers.
Our Key Stage 3 curriculum is currently building – we have a Year 9 taster SOW currently which has proved extremely successful, with its study of, amongst others, the film ‘Jojo Rabbit’ which resonates personally with many of our school community. Our intent is to build the course through GCSE and feed this into the existing A Level provision for those that wish to continue in further education.
Implementation: As subject specialists, enthusiasts and lifelong learners, our department discusses developments in theory and practice; we are in regular contact with colleagues from across the country and take part in specification specific online fora in order to share ideas and develop our own curriculum. We take time to plan and reflect, formalising our findings into an organic provision for our students.
Our schemes of work implement the range of skills which allow our students to become confident practitioners. We regularly hold viewings of our key films and genres.
