Lapbook Any Movie

Note to Parent:
Lapbook Any Movie
study and lapbook created by Wende
After discovering the many benefits of including movies as integral parts of our unit studies,
my girls and I decided that we would like a generic lapbook to go with any movie. We worked
together to create this, and I would say it is probably best suited for 12 and up.
You may want to print this out, insert pages into clear sleeves, and store in a binder or folder.
Student will then be able to use these instructions again and again for different movies. Just
print out a new set of components for each movie. Store extra components in folder for future
use (not all components will be applicable to every movie, so you may have extras).
As there is no answer key, it is recommended that you watch the movie all the way through
with your child at least once to help with the lessons or components if needed. Enjoy!
Before You Watch
Complete these components before you watch the movie.
Examine the movie poster, commercial, tape or DVD case, or Internet for information about
the movie you will be viewing. Identify the title, producer, date of its production, and its
rating. See what actors or actresses will be starring in the film. What do you think the movie
will be about? What kinds of characters do you think you’ll see?

Comedy –
5

In comedy, human errors or problems appear funny. Most genres of film include moments of
comedy. Even very serious works often use comic relief to give the audience a break from an
emotionally intense story. There are many devices used for comic effect.
1. Irony – using a word or phrase to mean the exact opposite of its literal or normal
meaning. Dramatic Irony lets the audience see a character’s mistakes or
misunderstandings that the character is unable to see himself. Verbal Irony is when
a character says one thing but means another. Irony of situation is when there is a
great difference between the purpose of a particular action and the result.
2. Exaggeration – overstating or stretching the truth for literary effect

possible meaning. Words used in a pun sound the same but have different
meanings.

6

Component 12 - Protagonist/Antagonist Right/Left Fold
Cut on solid lines. Mountain fold on dotted lines. Under flaps, identify each character.
Character Actor –
A lot of work goes into selecting the right actor to portray a certain story character. The sign
of a good actor is the ability to take on any role no matter how different the character’s
personality traits are from his own. Research the actor playing the main character in the
movie you watched. Do you think this person was a good choice for the role? How does it
compare to roles he’s played in other movies? What elements of his other roles did he bring
to this character? If you have seen this actor perform before, did you have certain
expectations in regards to how he would act in this role?
Component 13 - Character Actor Accordion Book

Character Profile -
A character in a movie may have a large or small part. It may be human or non-human. The
main character is the subject of much of the movie, and a lot of time is spent developing his
qualities, personality, and motivations. Unlike a character in a book, a movie character can be
developed through his appearance, voice, or mannerisms. Over the course of the movie we
see changes and growth in him, and can figure out the reasons behind the character’s choices
or decisions. Complete a character profile for the main character.
Component 14 - Character Profile Flap Book
Cut on solid lines. Mountain fold on dotted lines. Describe main character under flaps. Draw
picture of character in frame.
Movie Techniques
The use of different techniques enhances the telling of a story in film. Not every movie
employs every technique. As you watch the movie, look for the use of at least five of these
techniques. Complete these components as you watch the movie, or after it is over.
Component 15 Instructions:
There is included a pentagon shape book, which will be the center of a star, and triangle
shape books to position as the star points. The points are printed so they can face either up or
down. There are points to cover all of the techniques presented below, but you will only need
five of them, so as you watch the movie, determine which techniques are most often
employed.
Pentagon Shape Book
Cut out on solid lines and mountain fold on dotted line. Inside, answer the following
questions in complete sentences. How did the techniques enhance your enjoyment of the
film? Which particular techniques impressed you? What techniques in other films can you
remember which have particularly struck you? Why, do you think?
7

Triangle Shape Books
Cut on solid lines. Mountain fold on dotted lines. Glue these around the pentagon as the
points on the star. Inside, describe how the technique was used.
Camera Positioning –
Have you ever heard the expression, “A picture is worth a thousand words?” Well, that applies
to movies too, and every shot counts. What the camera shows can say more than the
dialogue. A camera can pan a room to show items that tell a lot about a character or to
introduce you to many faces at once. It can focus in on something the director wants to
bring to your attention, such as a clock or a thermometer, or a facial expression. Sometimes
the camera is shot from the point of view of a particular character, to show what he sees. A
camera can be positioned low to make a petite person look taller. It can be shot from a bird’s
eye view to give you a vast image of the surroundings. As you watch the movie, look for
unique camera positioning and think about how it adds to or subtracts from the film.
Lighting –
The lighting used in a movie sets the mood. Most horror films don’t take place on bright
sunny days, and most action movies don’t take place in darkened rooms. The lighting can be
manipulated on a set to fit any kind of environment regardless of the ambient lighting. The
filmmakers can make it day or night at will. As you watch the movie, think about how the
lighting abilities enable the filmmakers to manipulate the mood and setting.
Music –
Musical scores are chosen very carefully. Certain songs underscore a character’s life and
personality, with the lyrics actually speaking for the character. Other songs are chosen for the
emotions they evoke when heard. There is suspenseful music, fun music, frantic music,
romantic music, etc. Keep your ears open to the varieties of music throughout this film. Do
they evoke the feelings the director intended? Do they add or detract from the film?
Narration –
Narration is used at times for the purpose of relating an event or series of events to bring the
viewer up to speed without showing the actual scenes. The voice of the narrator may be that
of a character in the story, or of someone from the outside looking in.
Special Effects –
Special effects have come a long way in the movie industry due to CGI (Computer Graphic
Imaging). Elements can easily be added or removed using computer programs. Explosions,
crashes, and stunts are now easily manipulated. If the movie you are watching is more than 20
years old, it is likely that the producer had to be a bit more creative about making the
unnatural seem natural.
Background Noise –
Noises in the background aid the director in establishing the setting. These sounds can be
actual noises on the set of the filming, or they may be dubbed in later.
8

Flashbacks –
A flashback is a returning to an earlier time in a story for the purpose of making something in
the present clearer. An editing technique is often used, to repeat an earlier scene in the film.
Other times, a new scene is added, that was not previously shown, so that we can discover
the reason for something happening. Be on the lookout for a flashback in the movie you are
viewing.
Costume Design –
The costumes are an important part of creating an immediate impression of the characters
and setting. Colors and textures can say a lot about a person and their status in life. A wealthy
character may wear velvets, silks, furs, and fine jewelry. A rough and tough character may
wear leather. A poor or miserly character may wear clothing resembling rags. A self-absorbed
character may have all his clothing and accessories monogrammed. As you watch the movie,
pay particular attention to what is being said through clothing design. Can you pinpoint any
particular examples in the film?
Pace –
How fast or slow the characters are moving helps to tell the story. Fast, frenzied actors are
typical in a comedy or action movie, where a slow pace is typical in a drama or tragedy.
Sometimes the actors will adjust their pace to fit the movie, and other times the film speed
itself will be manipulated. A film may be played in slow motion in order for the director to
show things we may have missed at live time speed. Identify the pace throughout the movie.
Are there times when it is faster paced than others? Why?
The Message
Complete these components as you watch the movie, or after it is over. You may want to
watch the movie a second time to focus on its message.
Author’s Purpose –
An author writes in an effort to communicate an underlying message. The message may be a
political or religious one, or may reflect the emotions or events of the author’s own life. It will
be based on the author’s own beliefs and understandings, in an attempt to get the reader or
viewer to see things his way. Filmmakers generally try to leave the author’s underlying
message in tact in the production, sometimes even expanding on it. The message is
sometimes meant to anger a person towards action, and other times it is meant to leave you
with a warm and fuzzy feeling lending itself to complacency. What do you think the central
message of this movie is? How do you think the filmmakers wanted the audience to respond?
Does this film appeal to the viewer's reason or emotion? How does it make you feel? Consider
the effectiveness of the film in communicating its message. As a tool of communication, what
are its strengths and weaknesses?
Component 16 – Author’s Purpose Shutterfold
9

Cut on solid lines. Mountain fold on dotted lines so shutters meet in the center. Inside, answer
the above questions in complete sentences.
Theme –
The theme of a movie is the statement about life that the author is trying to get across to the
viewer. Sometimes the theme is spelled out and obvious, but most often it is inferred by the
actions and reactions of the characters. The theme often involves a lesson or insight. The
theme may help the author fulfill his purpose, but while his purpose is to get you to do (or not
do) something, the theme is to teach you something.
Component 17 – Theme Shape Book
Cut out component on dotted lines. Cut out oval cover on solid line. Staple cover onto shape
book where marked. Answer question inside.
Propaganda –
Propaganda techniques are used by moviemakers to sell the audience on an idea or product
in exchange for a financial benefit from a third party. The person or group with the financial
interest will try to persuade the audience by distorting questions, sabotaging arguments, and
misusing evidence, often in such a subtle way that the viewer never realizes he is being sold a
bill of goods. There are nine basic techniques to be on the watch for as you view the movie.
1. Bandwagon – When they try to sell you on a product or idea by trying to convince
you that “everyone is doing it” or “everyone has one”, often by falsifying data or
making claims such as “…used by one out of three people” or “99% of women
choose…” You wouldn’t want to be the only one not buying or believing, would
you?
2. Flag-Waving – When they try to sell you on a product or idea by trying to convince
you that you are a good American if you buy or do the thing they recommend. In
this technique, they will use popular virtues such as flag-waving patriotism,
baseball, or apple pie to make you believe that you are unpatriotic if you don’t
agree. This technique is common in war movies, where the moviemakers have
been paid to sway the viewers towards believing in and supporting war efforts.
3. Appeal to Emotions - When they try to sell you on a product or idea by tugging on
the heartstrings and using words that evoke emotions instead of giving factual
information. This technique includes appeals to pity or compassion, such as “you
wouldn’t want _________ to suffer anymore, would you?” or appeals to complete
happiness, such as “I’ve never been happier since I ___________.”
4. Act Fast! - When they try to sell you on a product or idea by making you believe
that it is “now or never!” or “time is of the essence!” They want you to believe that
you better act fast, without really thinking it though, or you will lose the
opportunity.
10

5. Poisoning the Well - When they try to sell you on a product or idea by undercutting
the credibility of one to sell you on another. The accusations are most often
unsupported and sometimes involve name-calling. Politicians often use this
technique, spending more time assassinating another’s character than promoting
themselves. The idea behind “poisoning the well” is that if the well is polluted, no
good can come of it.
6. Testimonial - When they try to sell you on a product or idea by appealing to the
authority of a famous person or group. If a famous, recognizable person endorses a
product or idea, it must be wonderful, right?
7. Repetition - When they try to sell you on a product or idea by repeating words or
phrases so they are firmly planted in the viewer’s mind. Do you remember the
commercial for a headache medicine – “Head-on, apply directly to the forehead,
Head-on, apply directly to the forehead, Head-on, apply directly to the forehead…”
The repetition sticks in your mind.
8. Association - When they try to sell you on a product or idea by associating a person
with admirable qualities or lifestyle to the thing being sold. You will look at the
person and think, “I would be just like ____________ if I bought ___________.”
9. Faulty Conclusions - When they try to sell you on a product or idea by
misrepresenting facts. One way they do this is by making hasty generalizations,
basing conclusions on inadequate evidence. An example would be “If a little is
good, a lot will be great.” Another way is through composition and division, which
is based on the assumption that the whole of something will have the same quality
as each of its parts, or the converse belief that each part will have the quality of the
whole. An example would be a baseball team being called great because they
have a great pitcher. But if you took that pitcher away, would the team still be
great? A third way is to present a false cause, blaming one thing for the outcome of
another, even though the effects may be totally coincidental. An example would
be calling a driver reckless for hitting a tree, even though the brakes on the car
were found to be faulty.
Component 18 – Propaganda Pocket and Cards
Cut pocket on solid lines. Fold under flaps on dotted lines. Glue tab backs into lapbook. Cut
out cards on solid lines. As you watch the movie, make note of any propaganda techniques
that are used. Describe how they are used on the cards. Store cards in pocket.
The Review
Complete these components after the movie is over and all of the other applicable lessons
and components are completed.
Compare/Contrast –
11

the written work and the visual work. To compare, point out the similarities in the works. To
contrast, point out the differences in the works.
Component 19 – Venn Flap Book
Cut on solid black lines. Mountain fold on dotted lines. Under flaps, compare and contrast the
book and the movie.
Awards –
There are many awards given to the producers, directors, and/or actors of notable films. These
awards include the Academy Award, Golden Globe award, Edgar Allen Poe Award, Gary
Cooper Award, British Academy Award, and many more. The awards are often mentioned on
the jackets of DVD’s or videos. You can also find out what awards have been won by
searching the Internet. Has the movie you are viewing received any awards?
Component 20 – Awards Simple Fold
Cut on solid lines. Mountain fold on dotted line. Inside, list any awards that the movie won.
Movie Review –
A movie review is not simply a summary or an unsupported opinion of what the viewer
thought of the movie. A movie review will include information about the movie (The Movie’s
Story), and the reviewer’s opinion of how well the producers succeeded at presenting the
story on film. A good review presents evidence to support this opinion. The writer of a movie
review tries to give the reader enough information to decide whether or not he wants to see
the movie, but not so much as to spoil the enjoyment of watching it. A good reviewer never
gives away the ending!
Before Your Review:
To write a good movie review, you need to know the movie thoroughly. This requires careful,
attentive viewing, and sometimes a second viewing. The viewer should also be familiar with
the characteristics of the various genres, and be able to identify those characteristics in the
movie. For instance, it would be wrong to criticize a science fiction movie for not having a
realistic setting.
As you watch, make a list of especially good or especially weak scenes. Use all of the lapbook
components you’ve completed up to this point for reference. Keep a mental (or written, if you
prefer) summary of each scene, and think about the following questions:
Does anything confuse you?
Are you enjoying the movie?
Does it leave any questions unanswered?
What is your general impression of the movie?
Was it exciting or dull and predictable?
Did you learn anything from it?
12

What was most real and believable about it?
Which parts were especially good and memorable?
Which characters are the most believable and lifelike?
What truth about life is revealed?

spelling, grammar or punctuation errors, publish your review. You can post your
review at http://www.amazon.com or at http://www.swapadvd.com/ .
Component 21 – Review Form
Print page as is. Write title of movie on marquee. After you type up your review, you will print
it out on the back of this review form. Feed paper with picture faced down, on the right side
of paper. After you print your review on back, fold paper in quarters with review inside and
picture ending up on top. The block marked with “X” will get glued into lapbook.
Marketing –
How would you market this film? What audience would you target? Where would you
advertise? Design a movie poster targeting your selected audience. Use it as a cover for your
lapbook if desired.
