The Story of Movies is a teaching resource developed by the Film Foundation, which preserves films (over 450 so far). The foundation was set up by some of the United States' most successful film makers including Martin Scorsese, Steven Spielberg and Woody Allen.
The resource is aimed at middle years students and provides a range of activities, with a traditional film analysis approach. The focus is on analysis of narrative, film language and themes. There is little exploration of production process, distribution or reception. the area of representations is only marginally dealt with. In other words, this is a conventional film appreciation approach, rather than a media studies approach.
However, teachers with little experience in this field will find it a useful resource.
