The educational resources include a teacher's guide with relevant information and inspiration, and student assignments focusing on analytical and creative elements. Film analysis is a powerful method to improve decoding and analytical skills. The resources’ film-specific approach helps students to become aware that a film’s themes, form and style all contribute to shaping its content.
Film analysis also motivates a variety of collaborative tasks, from working in pairs to teamwork and discussions in class. A critical approach to film promotes conversation, which is essential for learning. Furthermore film discussions can stimulate language learning and communication skills.
Filmcentralen also includes a Film Lexicon providing definitions of key film terms – in words, pictures and film clips. All study materials link directly to the Film Lexicon to explain filmic terms and concepts.
