Additional research into other Social Realist films

Due Wednesday, 17th October

PLEASE COMPLETE ON A3 PAPER!

 

Complete some independent research into social realist films beyond the two we have studied in lessons. You can refer back to your first blog post to get you started.

 

Consider:

 

The plot of the film

The setting

The characters

The actors

The director

Whether or not the film was a success

The target audience

The age certificate

The message of the film

How all of these aspects fit the social realist genre

 

You may also like to take this opportunity to research the posters for each of these films, as this will help you to design your own. Please print off any posters you particularly like or dislike, as you can include these in your planning and research.

 

 

 

JOHN SINGLETON

 

HOMEWORK: Due in Wednesday, 10th October.

 

Your homework this week is NOT to post a comment!

 

I would like you to contribute a poster about John Singleton for display in the English corridor as part of Black History Month.

 

A maximum of three people to a group, please.

 

You may wish to include:

 

information about his early life

films he has worked on

stills or posters from those films

images of actors he has worked with

 

Please remember, this is a celebration of the works of black authors and artists and these posters will be displayed where KS3 students can see them, so make sure you are responsible in your selection of images and quotations - just as you would be in your coursework.

 

If you need A3 paper, please come and see me. Otherwise, A4 is fine.

 

I look forward to seeing your work!
