What the college says

Why choose to study Film Studies?: Film Studies is a cultural course that gives you a strong grounding in film-making tradition, current practice and cinema from Britain, America and around the world. You will study film in depth, create your own and hone your analytical and essay writing skills. The A level goes well with other ‘cultural’ courses, or as a qualification that makes you stand out from the crowd. What will I study?: The practical part of the course involves writing and storyboarding a shooting script for a film short, or filming and editing an actual film. A wide range of films are studied with attention being paid to different academic approaches such as context, narrative, genre and auteurship. You learn how films are made and how they interact with audiences and reflect cultures. What skills will I develop?: Your skills of close, detailed analysis will be greatly developed by this course. You also learn how to think about films from different academic perspectives. Opportunities: Cinema visits and film conventions might become available for you to include in your UCAS personal statements. Entry Requirements: Grade 5 or higher in GCSE English.
