What the college says

Film Studies encourages students to experience a wide range of different types of films, to analyse and understand cinema as both an art form, as well as from a social and business point of view. Students will be encouraged to explore their personal responses to films, using critical language to analyse the ways in which films construct meanings. Students will understand the contexts in which films are produced by comparing films from the past and the present and from other countries and cultures. The subject requires many similar skills which are required when studying English Literature, Sociology, Theatre Studies, Media and History. The studying of Film could lead to possible careers within the industry, such as Film production. Additionally,the skills required could also provide opportunities in journalism or careers relating to other art forms. There are two examined components: Component 1: Varieties of Film and Film-making Component 2: Global Film-making Perspectives The coursework component is Component 3: Production
