The learning activities primarily seek to complement and extend the pleasure the children will have derived from seeing the film whilst at the same time meeting some of the requirements of the National Curriculum. The following list will give a guideline to the subjects covered in the various sections of the guide.  \nSUBJECT  \nEnglish, Media Studies and P.S. E.  \nMathematics and Art Design and Technology  \nHistory  \nSECTIONS OF GUIDE  \nThe Beginning of the Film, Telling a Story,  \nFriendship, Kat and Casper, Happy Endings, What Sort of Film is ‘Casper’? and Humour and Horror  \nThe Design of the Film The Inventions  \nCasper’s Memories  \nSYNOPSIS  \nWho says there are no such things as ghosts? The citizens of Friendship, Maine, have long suspected that the abandoned and desolate Whipstaff Manor is haunted.  \nThen, one day, two new visitors show up on the doorstep of the drafty old mansion: Kat Harvey and her eccentric dad, Dr. James Harvey, a self-styled “ghost therapist”. Whipstaff’s scheming owner, Carrigan Crittenden, has hired Dr. Harvey to exorcise the house’s live-in apparitions -- a friendly but lonely young ghost named Casper and his three incorrigibly odious uncles, Stretch, Stinkie and Fatso - - so that she can get her hands on the macabre manor’s fabled treasure.  \n©Film Education 1  \nUnfortunately for Dr. Harvey, the spectral uncles, who lead dysfunctional afterlives, will nor tolerate “fleshies” in their house. What’s more, the Ghostly Trio have their own methods of getting rid of unwanted visitors - -and a certifiably twisted sense of humour.  \n‘Casper’, dir. Brad Silberling, UIP, 1995.  \nRunning time: 1 hour 40 mins. Certificate: ‘PG’.  \nINTRODUCTION  \nCasper is a film about a friendly ghost that combines humour with horror; fun with real feelings about relationships. The aim of this guide is to look at how the film puts its message across in a highly original and entertaining way and why it will appeal to a wide audience.  \nTHE BEGINNING OF THE FILM  \nIn the first scene of the film we meet the Steubing Twins as they arrive at Whipstaff Manor. They have come to this creepy old place armed with a Polaroid camera so that they can take a photograph to prove to their friends at school that they are not chicken.  \nDuring the opening titles, we see, in the developing photo, their terror as they realise that it is a ghost (Casper) who has taken the camera from Nicky.  \nThis scene has little to do with what happens in the rest of the story, and introduces us to the twins who are very minor characters in the film. So why is it there?  \n• What do we learn about Casper from this scene?  \n• Why is Casper introduced right at the beginning and not the other main characters, e.g. Kat?  \n• What do we learn about Whipstaff Manor?  \nTask 1  \nWrite an alternative introductory scene for the film. Which characters would you use?  \nWhat setting would you choose?  \n©Film Education 2  \nTask 2  \nThe section introduces the idea of a dare. The boys are dared to enter the haunted house and have to prove that they have been there. As the film progresses it is the courage of Dr. Harvey, Kat and Casper which helps to defeat the villains. Describe a dare of which you know or a courageous daring event.  \nTELLING A STORY  \nOne of the interesting elements of the film is how the story is built up from the different viewpoints of the main characters. This means that the audience has the total picture but the individual groups of characters only know their own section.  \nThe opening sequences of the film are a good example of this:  \n• We see Casper from the point of view of the twins being dared to take the photograph.  \n• We see Carrigan inherit the house and find out about the treasure.  \n• Casper sees the television report on Dr. Harvey.  \n• Casper informs Carrigan about Dr. Harvey by turning on her telev","cbCaimZPHQirjeGb","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaimZPHQirjeGb","pdf",38148,"English","# The Beginning of the Film\n## Task 1\n# Telling a Story\n## Task 3\n# Friendship\n## Task 4\n# Kat and Casper","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of these teachers’ notes for Casper?\",\"answer\":\"To provide a cross-curricular scheme of work for pupils aged 10–12 that complements the pleasure of seeing the film while meeting National Curriculum requirements.\"},{\"question\":\"Which subjects are covered in the guide?\",\"answer\":\"English, Media Studies and P.S.E.; Mathematics and Art/Design and Technology; and History are listed as subjects.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the guide use the film to teach storytelling and audience effects?\",\"answer\":\"It highlights how the story is built from different viewpoints of main characters, so the audience has the total picture while each group knows only its own section, then asks pupils to explain the effect on an audience.\"}]","Teachers’ Notes - Curriculum Links - Casper | PDF",1791061154,23]
