Big Screen Small Screen is a practical resource for teaching film to students from Year 7 to 11. Experienced teachers from around Australia and overseas have used classroom experience to provide a variety of approaches to films ranging from multiplex blockbusters to award winning art-house films.
The units of work in the book, which include photocopiable worksheets, encourage students to explore and articulate such things as
- film techniques
- genre
- audience
- representation
- ideology
- notions of ‘mainstream’ and alternative’
and how these shape their response to a film.
