What the college says

Film Studies is an academic and highly analytical course with a strong emphasis on critical thinking, analysis and research skills. It will also provide students with the opportunity to develop practical production skills in filming and editing or screenplay writing. This A Level specification is broken up into three units. Varieties of film and filmmaking involves exploring three significant eras of film; analysing how media language (camera work, editing, sound, mise-en-scene and aesthetics) and socio-political context shape productions. The Global filmmaking perspective equips students with the skills to assess different film movements such as Silent Cinema and Documentary film. The final unit is the Production, the coursework unit for which students will individually plan, film and edit a short film, along with an evaluative analysis. Students who take this subject need to be proactive, not scared of learning new technologies and embrace challenge.
