A media-specific approach
All resources include a teacher's guide with relevant information and inspiration, and student assignments focusing on analytical and productive elements. Film analysis is a powerful method to improve decoding and analytical skills. The resources’ media-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 pair work to teamwork and discussions in class. A critical approach to film provokes conversation, which is essential for learning. Plus film discussions can stimulate language learning and communication skills.
Filmcentralen also includes a Film Lexicon providing definitions of key film terms – in words and film clips. All resources link directly to the guide to support teachers and students.
