Into Film+ Playlists

Into Film+ Playlists are comprised of carefully curated highlights from feature films that illuminate a particular theme and help stimulate classroom discussion around that topic. Each highlight is accompanied by detailed textual notes and suggested questions or activities for wider conversation.

Our Playlists are flexible to suit you. They are designed to be watched in sequential order, with a mini-discussion after each one - or you can just cherry-pick one or two highlights that are particularly relevant to what you're teaching.

The Playlists below will help you explore camera shot sizes, narrative devices, settings and sound.

These techniques (or devices) effect the plot structure, the story’s chronology and suspense, and how audiences experience and understand the film’s narrative. </p><p><br></p><p>With a focus on more contemporary Western film, these curated highlights offer a series of examples of narrative devices alongside notes explaining how they impact the storytelling. </p><p>The playlist is designed for Film Studies learners aged 14+ and includes examples of <strong>voiceover</strong>, <strong>flashback</strong>, <strong>flashforward</strong>, <strong>red herrings</strong>, <strong>plant and payoff,</strong> and <strong>cliffhangers</strong>.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>About Into Film+ Playlists</strong></p><p>Into Film+ Playlists comprise of carefully curated highlights from feature films that illuminate a particular theme and help stimulate classroom discussion around that topic. </p><p>Each highlight is accompanied by detailed textual notes and suggested questions or activities for wider conversation.
