These questions can be used to focus students' thinking while watching the film and/or to develop their understanding of film language.

CAMERA

• What images does the filmmaker use in clip one and why?
• List the shots that are included to give us a deeper sense of Mary's personality.

CHARACTERS AND PEOPLE

• How would you describe Darcus Howe's presentation style? What makes him an interesting personality for a documentary on 'Englishness'?
• How does the filmmaker introduce us to Mary?

NARRATIVE/ARGUMENT

• Consider the implication of the programme's title? How does this affect the way we view the clips?
• Can students summarise the main argument of clip two?
• How does Mary's story help Darcus in his quest to find the England of the future (that he talks about in clip one)?

SOUND

• What do you notice about the music soundtrack to both clips?

SYMBOLISM

• What images does the filmmaker use to represent 'England' in the opening sequence? Why?
• What do students notice about the title graphic? What does the use of the English flag, in conjunction with the title, imply?

SETTING

• Why do you think the director chose to interview Mary while she was walking around the grounds of her family home?
• How does the filmmaker use Mary's home to create a sense of her character?
• How does the filmmaker use the setting to create a sense of anticipation while we watch the hunt prepare to set off?

EDITING

• Look carefully at the shot transitions in clip one. How many shots are used. Why do you think the sequence is edited in this way?
