Customer Reviews

Very useful!4
As a high school film studies teacher who is pretty much self-trained (at the film aspect, anyway!), this book gave me some marvelous ideas for "beefing up" my unit on music videos. The in-depth analyses are great models for discussion/viewing.

The book includes general guidelines, a possible course outline (what Brits call a "scheme of work)--though it's for a FAR longer course than my unit--and a very useful historical overview of music videos, which provides some good viewing suggestions. It also provides a contextual framework within which to analyze the genre, as well as handouts available online.

I was impressed enough with the book, that I ordered two others in the series.

Truly Helpful4
This book provides great insights and tips to teaching music videos. Has a historical timeline, several examples as well as printable online exercises for my kids to work on.

Super series for Film & Media Studies teachers (16-19 year olds)5
I am biased, as I'm the Series Editor, but every title in the series has lots of factual and conceptual background information for each topic, two sample six-week teaching schemes and teaching tips (and downloadable photocopiable worksheets and web notes from [...]) as well as 3-5 detailed case studies, full glossary and suggestions for further research.

Every writer is an experienced teacher and/or examiner and most titles (with the exception of ones with 'British' in the title) have a fairly international perspective.
