What the college says

This course is ideal for students who want to explore how and why films are made. A Level Film Studies focuses on the analysis and deconstruction of film, over a wide historical time frame. It allows students to engage with films, from early silent cinema to 1930s Hollywood films, to contemporary and experimental cinema. A passion for a wide range of cinema is essential for success in Film Studies A Level, but it is not necessary to have studied either Film or Media at GCSE. It is an academic subject and suits students who have flourished in essay-based subjects like English Literature or History.
