What the college says

The course balances the study of a range of film theories with practical application of the micro elements - mise-en-scène, cinematography, editing and sound - and macro elements - genre and characterisation - of film. At the heart of Film Studies lies the exploration of the relationship between the spectator, the filmmaker and the film text. Those who study Film Studies at A Level gain a critical appreciation of both film theories and practical filmmaking. Studying Film will develop your skills in planning, research, close analysis, evaluating the influence of different social and cultural contexts, and film production.
