Don t Panic! Content designed to be easily deliverable Each unit s content builds upon the previous unit Enables candidates to acquire skills that can be utilized alongside OCR AS/A Level Media Studies Choices of approaches offered to creative production work, allowing centres to make best use of their skills and resources Further support materials will be available
3 Unit F631: Film Text and Context (AS Exam) What needs to be taught AO1 AO2 Knowledge and Understanding Application of Knowledge and Understanding Section A: Contemporary English Language Film The purpose of this section is to assess candidates K&U* of contemporary English language films (AO1) and for candidates to apply their K&U* of how meaning is created in film through the broader macro elements (AO2). Section B: Cinema in Context The purpose of this section is to assess candidates contextual knowledge and understanding of the historical development of the cinema industry within their chosen topic areas (AO1) and for candidates to apply these contexts in order to show an understanding of relevant historical context in the period being considered (A02). *K&U = Knowledge and Understanding Unit F631: Film Text and Context (AS Exam) Essential details 2 hour examination 100 marks for the paper Two sections to the paper: Section A: Contemporary English Language Film (40 marks) Candidates must answer one question from a choice of two on the frameworks for analysis. Section B: Cinema in Context (60 marks) Candidates must answer two questions (30 marks each) from a choice of four topic areas. Each question answered must be from a different topic area.
4 Section A: Contemporary English Language Film Frameworks for analysis Representation Messages and values Genre Narrative Theme Style Authorship Rationale Designed to help teachers structure and anchor the work of the topic Purpose is to offer some dimensions for structure and support, but also to enable freedom and flexibility Working with the Frameworks for Analysis Example Star Trek (2009) To boldly go clip Terminator Salvation (2009) Attack on Skynet clip
5 Representation - gender / nationality / ethnicity Messages and values - utopia versus dystopia Genre same genre, different approaches discussion of sub-genres Narrative - John Connor ultimately triumphant, the rise of Captain Kirk preordained from previous films / TV series Theme - what the future holds for good or ill Style - the variety of techniques deployed Authorship McG? Cameron? Abrams? Roddenberry? Paramount (for Star Trek)? Audiences? Unit F631: Film Text and Context (AS Exam) Section A: Contemporary English Language Film Three approaches to teaching: 1. Adapting materials from other specifications (recycling the old) 2. Approaching the specification from scratch (bringing in the new) 3. Working this specification with OCR A-Level Media Studies (the bricolage effect)
6 Unit F631: Film Text and Context (AS Exam) Section A: Contemporary English Language Film 1. Adapting materials from other specifications (recycling the old) Start with what you know e.g. films / topics / themes you focus on for existing topics on British and American cinema. For example: Living with crime This is England / Harry Brown / Sweet Sixteen can easily fit into the frameworks for analysis for section A American Cinema thematic focus the after effects of 9/11 War of the Worlds / The Dark Knight Unit F631: Film Text and Context (AS Exam) Section A: Contemporary English Language Film 2. Approaching the specification from scratch (bringing in the new) Consider the frameworks for analysis and pick focus films which offer opportunities to explore dimensions of all of them so that candidates are fully prepared for the examination -e.g. 1 Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy / The Bourne Ultimatum / Hanna -e.g. 2 The Guard / Sherlock Holmes / Hot Fuzz -Alternatively identify a common area to link films together - Contemporary Bond (Casino Royale / Quantum of Solace / Skyfall) - Genre contemporary superhero (Avengers Assemble / X-Men First Class / The Amazing Spiderman)
7 Unit F631: Film Text and Context (AS Exam) Section A: Contemporary English Language Film 3. Working this specification with OCR A-Level Media Studies (the bricolage effect) Can you forge links between AS Media coursework and AS Film examined work? e.g. Film opening sequence thrillers / horror / teen Can you re-use aspects of work from A-level Media for A-level Film? e.g. Action-adventure materials from old spec, or Media Regulation materials from the new spec? Unit F631: Film Text and Context (AS Exam) Section A: Contemporary English Language Film Learning Outcomes for topic - Candidates develop knowledge and understanding of how films communicate meanings to audiences in a variety of ways - Candidates develop knowledge and understanding of how films and filmmakers use a variety of tools to solicit readings / interpretations of films studied In their exam answer candidates need to be able to demonstrate and apply K&U of chosen films in relation to the broader macro elements of film language.

19 Portfolio requirements Students will produce a portfolio of work consisting of four elements: a textual analysis (micro elements within context of macro focus) of two contemporary (10 years) English language film texts (40 marks) evidence of planning for a creative artefact which should be related to the textual analysis (10 marks) a creative artefact (30 marks) an evaluation of the work produced (20 marks). Work is assessed individually but students may use others in the construction of their artefact. Three approaches Starting the course from scratch with limited resources. Using existing materials. In parallel with OCR Media Studies.
20 From scratch with limited resources TEXTUAL ANALYSIS - a study of two romantic comedies, exploring the representation of gender through an application of film language. Forgetting Sarah Marshall (2008), Nicholas Stoller, Universal, USA Run Fatboy Run (2007), David Schwimmer, Beech Hill Films, UK Textual analysis exploring how men and women are represented through cinematography, editing, sound and mise-en-scène. Beech Hill Films Universal Films
21 From scratch with limited resources PLANNING a series of photographs with notes representing a location report for the production of a new romantic comedy film. Forgetting Sarah Marshall was set in an exotic location. As this type of location is often seen as a convention of the genre I have decided to use such a location for my film. The shot has been framed to emphasise the bed, a key element of romantic mise-en-scene. This location is where the handsome male protagonist first meets the princess. They have been booked into the same room by mistake... Linking of materials to textual analysis, clear and insightful links presented with precision Creative application of prior learning, sophisticated consideration of how theoretical elements may be used creatively in own work Application of pre-production skills in creating planning materials, confident and practised use of a range of skills as appropriate Care in presentation of planning, carefully considered use of appropriate forms of presentation, skilfully executed
22 Planning exercise The Lens Flare Copyright 2012 Vauntium, LLC, All Rights Reserved. From scratch with limited resources ARTEFACT - an extract from a script for a new romantic comedy film with images of 9 key frames demonstrating an understanding of how messages and values are constructed through cinematography, sound, editing, and mise-enscène.
23 Jack: I can t promise a happy ending but we can give it a go. Jill: You say the nicest things. The couple walk off into the sunset. Romantic orchestral music plays them out as the shot fades to black. Note: the shot is framed so as to include the setting sun which symbolises the end of the film and the subsequent rise of the relationship... Application of film language and codes and conventions Links to textual analysis and planning Evidence of creative application of knowledge and understanding Application of appropriate production skills ability to communicate meaning effectively Time management Using existing materials TEXTUAL ANALYSIS - a study of two horror films, exploring the generic conventions through an application of film language. The Woman in Black (2012), James Watkins, Hammer, UK Dark Water (2005), Walter Salles, Touchstone, USA Ghost enigma codes troubled protagonist damsel in distress music in minor key familiar location 14+ audience...
24 Using existing materials PLANNING - an extract from an animatic storyboard illustrating a sequence from a new horror film. Using existing materials ARTEFACT a two minute filmed sequence from a new horror film (not the opening) demonstrating an understanding of how generic conventions are constructed through cinematography, sound, editing, and mise-en-scène.
25 With OCR Media Studies TEXTUAL ANALYSIS - a study of two action/adventure films, exploring narrative through an application of film language. The Bourne Ultimatum (2007), Paul Greengrass, Universal, USA The Sweeney (2012), Nick Love, Vertigo, UK Dynamic narrative male protagonist damsel in distress sidekick villain exposition complication resolution... With OCR Media Studies PLANNING a series of screen tests with notes for female characters in a new action/adventure film.
26 With OCR Media Studies ARTEFACT a two minute filmed sequence from a new action/adventure film (not the opening)* demonstrating an understanding of how generic conventions are constructed through cinematography, sound, editing, and mise-en-scène. * the sequence could be a continuation of a G321 construction. The evaluation what were the aims of the artefact? what codes and conventions identified in the textual analysis were used in the artefact? how were the planning materials used in the construction of the artefact? how successful was the artefact in achieving the aims?
