  1. Deeper Into Movies Group Discussion & Talk Presentation

  2. A film is - or should be - more like music than like fiction. It should be a progression of moods and feelings. The theme, what's behind the emotion, the meaning, all that comes later. Stanley Kubrick  • Movies can and do have tremendous influence in shaping young lives in the realm of entertainment towards the ideals and objectives of normal adulthood. Walt Disney  • You can map your life through your favorite movies, and no two people's maps will be the same. Mary Schmich

  3. Each group will be made up of approx 4/5 people. In your group you will discuss one of the following quotes: • Why should people go out and pay money to see bad films when they can stay home and see bad television for nothing?  Samuel Goldwyn • Every single art form is involved in a film, in a way. Sydney Pollack • Cinema is a matter of what’s in the frame and what’s not. Martin Scorcese • Every time I go to a movie, it’s magic, no matter what it’s about.Steven Spielberg • In the future, everybody is going to be a director. Somebody's got to live a real life so we have something to make a movie about. Cameron Crowe • It is women who love horror. Gloat over it. Feed on it. Are nourished by it. Shudder and cling and cry out-and come back for more.  Bela Lugosi

  4. “You know what your problem is, it's that you haven't seen enough movies - all of life's riddles are answered in the movies.” Steve Martin • In this task you will present the film which has had the greatest impression or influence on you. • You may have felt aspects of the plot or setting related to your own life or empathised with a specific character. • It’s likely that you haven’t considered the reason why you are drawn to the film before: the purpose of the task is to think more deeply about movies...

  5. It could be effective to include the following in your talk: • Power Point Presentation (which could incorporate photographs and music) • Scenes from a DVD/YouTube clips NB. Content included in your talk must be appropriate for class viewing!

  6. Many movie scripts are available online – you should Google your favourite film when preparing your talk. • You should ensure that your presentation is not simply a narrative of the movie – link it to your own life and make it personal. • The following structure is only suggested to help you, how you organise your presentation is up to you...

  7. Introduction – Customise your opening section to suit the movie, perhaps echoing the beginning of the film... • Plot – Summarise the film. You can leave the end a surprise if you like! If there are parallels with your own life, you should discuss these too. • Character(s) – Describe the character(s) and explain the characteristics which make you empathise with them. • Key Scenes – Discuss the 2 or 3 scenes you think are most important and explain why. • Theme – Explain what you think is the central idea of the film and what you have you learned from it. • Conclusion – If you could, would you change the way the movie ends?
