Film Footage Online Film Essays



Originally Published by Renfrew TVEI


During the early 1990s Renfrew TVEI organised a number of inservice courses for teachers who were interested in teaching the Film Module or the media Option within the Higher English examination. As part of the courses staff in the then Renfrew, Glasgow and Argyll and Bute Divisions of Strathclyde were themselves presented for the Film Module. The following essays were submitted as evidence of achieving Learning Outcome Four - Narrative, Genre, Representation - and were subsequently published as a reference book, "Film Footage".

"Film Footage" is no longer available but the demand for the essays continues. Each week links to more of the essays - and to new ones - will become active on this page. Watch for the links going active!

Essays may be printed and photocopied for educational use. Any teachers or lecturers who would like to contribute an essay of their own or one written by a student should contact Media Matters
