What the college says

A Level Film is a great option if you are wanting to progress onto prestigious universities and opens up excellent job prospects in the creative film industries. Film Studies focuses on the aesthetic qualities of film: the narrative structure and the use of cinematography, editing, light and sound, and how all these different elements combine to create meaning and generate a strong emotional response. You will study mainstream, Hollywood films, as well as a broad range of British, foreign and experimental film. Our approach is similar to English Literature – we focus on developing a critical understanding of film from a number of different perspectives; genre, narrative, film language, representation and social, cultural and historical contexts. If the analysis of films and the development of critical thinking, research skills and creative skills sounds like an exciting prospect then Film Studies at Wyke Sixth Form College is very much for you.
