A2 Exam Tips from Mrs Q
Year 13 you can do it! I want you to shine in the exam. The end is in sight, keep focused and make sure that you are fully prepared. My top tips:
1. Revise set scenes from all of the films we have studied, remember you need to show excellent filmic knowledge.
2. Use the WJEC past student scripts to support your revision.
3. Plan out possible responses to the exam questions.
4. Learn key words and quotes to support your responses in the exam.
5. Remember, that for Urban Stories the challenge is to compare and contrast.
6. For Vertigo remember to reflect on how the critical framework has deepened your thinking and understanding.
Keep calm and carry on revising. Remember, the A2 Textbook is excellent bedtime reading!!
Good luck,
Mrs Q

Back to Business
After a bit of a blogging hiatus we are good and ready to get back on track.
Well done to the AS group who have handed in their FM1 coursework folders and sat their FM2 exam - this post is for you!
Mrs Godwin will be furnishing you with the details of this project which will help you to transition from AS to A2 level work in Film Studies. It builds on, and refreshes, the work you have done for FM1 and FM2 and offers some good preparation for the demands of your FM3 coursework. Below is a copy of the project as it stands; there may be some alterations made to it but you can still look over the document and prepare yourself for the next half term.
The very best of luck to the Year 13 students who are sitting their FM4 exam on the 21st June. Some revision materials will be posted over the next few days.
All A-Level students may also want to pop over to the new blog at gcsefilmstudiesatcampion.blogspot.com and impart some of your A-Level wisdom to our new recruits.

Happy New (School) Year!
Hello all,
Welcome to a new year at Campion.
For the Year 12s, welcome to Sixth Form! Please be aware that you only have a short time with us - two years goes by very quickly - and a lot of work to fit in in that time. Well done to those of you who have started so well and those of you who are beginning to fall behind know what the consequences of slacking off are.
To my darling Year 13s - your last year as Campionites has arrived! Well done for working so hard and doing so well on your exams last year. Remember, if you want to resit to improve your mark, the closing date for January entries is coming soon. You were all exceptionally close to gaining the next grade!
The main reason for this post is to let you know about the new Film Studies YouTube channel. To make it easier to access video clips we may need I will be posting them on YouTube for a short time. You can access the site here.

Easter Greetings
Just a quick reminder to you all about the Easter holiday work, I am sure that you will all be well on the way with it. You have all of those Easter eggs to keep you going!!
Year 12
1.To complete the Film Tracking Exercise for a film that is due to come out very soon.
2.To complete the Mock Exam paper that you have saved as a PDF, remember to demonstrate your excellent film knowledge and weave in the ‘Case Studies.’
3.Look through the PDFs from the Film Distribution Association – paying particular attention to the charts and tables; consider what the figures reveal. It will help if you learn a few quotes and headline figures, this will impress the examiners.
4.Ensure that your Ewan McGregor essay is completed and that you have carefully thought about the question and what you have written.
Year 13
1.Please select two, of the three, Vertigo past questions and prepare detailed essay responses to them.
A)What does Vertigo reveal about the usefulness of one or more of the critical approaches you have applied?
B)Consider debates that have arisen in the critical reception of your film, either at the time of its initial release, after or both.
C)Film Scholars have argued that Vertigo is a film about cinema and spectatorship. How far is this true?
2.Prepare essay plans to the two City of God past questions that you were given (also available from the WJEC website, under the past paper section).
3.Revisit and research the ideas and work of Laura Mulvey, how does it apply and link to Vertigo? (Make sure you are clear about this)
4.Revisit and ensure that you are confident on the social, historical and political background to La Haine and City of God.
Enjoy the rest of the holidays, those Easter eggs and the sunshine. Any problems please email me do not leave it until the last minute.
Jenny please email me your most up-to-date screenplay and reflective analysis!
