The Metro Magazine study guides contain information about a broad range of films released in Australia. Students can use these guides to review, analyse and respond to various aspects of film, and as inspiration for and to inform students' own film and drama making.
Structure and features
Learning tasks
Each study guide includes
- a film synopsis
- a list of themes and issues to explore
- suggested questions to answer (before and after viewing)
- links to further reading and resources.
Using the information in the study guides, students can:
- become one of the characters, and speak as that character about an event, issue or situation in the film
- develop a self devised performance based on one or more of the major themes in the film
- create and record a short film on a phone or ipad. The film should combine sound, lighting and images to create a specific mood or atmosphere
- create a storyboard of the film.
