A 60 slide PPT with seven lessons, covering:

• genre conventions and the context for the film
• comparison of the opening of the film with the opening of the novel
• some key cinematic techniques (cinematography and diegetic sound)
• key scene of the coin toss
• the genre-defying climax and ending
• setting up paired presentations

I’ve included a range of screenshots from the film and a few clips too.

Accompanying resources are the opening of McCarthy’s novel and a pre-series knowledge check (with answer key) as editable Word docs.
