What the college says

You probably like watching films, but do you like digging beneath the surface of a film to really understand how and why it was made in that way? What does a camera angle lend to the interpretation of a scene, why might music be significant in understanding a character and how does the edit of a scene direct the audience’s comprehension of the action. You certainly don’t need to be a film buff but, here at college, we expect you to be open to a variety of contrasting film styles and genres. You will want to know what makes film significant within our culture today and how film theory, and film language assist us in analysing and evaluating the impact of film.
