FILM STUDIES

J.Taylor@costello.hants.sch.uk

CA Exploring and Creating (50%)

Paper 1 Exploring Films (30%)

Paper 2 Exploring Films outside Hollywood (20%)

Revision guides to be confirmed.

The course looks at the micro aspects of film making – the details of putting together a particular

scene or sequence of scenes – and the macro aspects of film making, which looks at the industry

as a whole in more general terms.

The students will look in detail at films out of Hollywood (specifically ‘Superhero’ films) and films

made outside Hollywood.

Over the two year course the students will complete some research based written assignments

and they will also be required to complete some practical tasks, creating a short film sequence, a

homepage for a website and other marketing tools used by the film industry.

Finally, there will be two written examinations in the summer of 2018. One examination will look at the ‘Superhero’ films from Hollywood and the other will require a detailed knowledge of at least one (but, realistically, more than one) film made outside Hollywood.

RELIGIOUS STUDIES

l.ord@costello.hants.sch.uk

AQA Specification A through Christianity, Themes B (Religion and Life), D (Religion, Peace and Conflict), E (Religion, Crime and Punishment) and F (Religion, Human Rights and Social Justice). Revision/Reading guides:

From Oxford University Press: GCSE Religious Studies A Islam (Marianne Fleming, Peter Smith and David Worden) GCSE Religious Studies A Christianity (Marianne Fleming, Peter Smith and David Worden)- these two are probably the most helpful, and each deals only with the religions we are studying. From Hodder: Religious Studies Specification A (Lesley Parry, Jan Hayes, Sheila Butler)- this will contain some useful content, but also covers religions that we will not be studying Religious Studies for GCSE: Philosophy and Ethics Applied to Christianity, Roman Catholicism, and Islam by Dennis Brown- this would be helpful for the themes, and particularly for any students who wish to complete wider reading
