What the college says

What was the last film you saw at the cinema? What made you choose to see this film � the trailers and adverts? Did you consider why this film got made and by who? If you are an avid film fan and have a passion for writing, an A Level in Film at Cardinal Newman will provide you with the skills to answer these questions in a creative and supportive environment. You will have the opportunity to learn within a modern and interactive setting, including a classroom with a 3D TV room - plus you will have the opportunity to visit LA as part of your studies! Film Studies explores both how films are produced and how they carry meanings and generate responses among the audiences who watch them. For instance, you will learn about how the positioning of the camera in a scene impacts upon audiences� response to the action, or how the choice of music creates a specific atmosphere. You will focus upon analysis in lessons where you will be expected to consider camera work, editing and sound as the language a film maker uses to communicate with their audience.
