What the college says

Film Studies is an exciting and engaging course that will give you a new appreciation of cinema. If you love going to the cinema, watching films, and talking about them with friends, then this might just be the course for you. Learn about the importance of the technical elements of film, alongside ideas of representation, context and ideology. If you watched films passively in the past, then this course will equip you with the ability to analyse the ‘poetic’ and more symbolic nature of film. With an eclectic range of twelve excellent pieces of Cinema to study over the two years, you will leave the course as the ultimate ‘film buff’. Many of our students go on to study Film at University with a view to building a career within the industry. Cinema Trips and Film Talks are arranged across the two years. There is also an opportunity to write for the Sixth Form Reviewer.
