What the college says

Many consider film to be the main cultural innovation of the 20th century and a major art form of the last hundred years. Those who study it characteristically bring with them a high degree of enthusiasm and excitement for what is a powerful and culturally significant medium, inspiring a range of responses from the emotional to the reflective. Film Studies consequently makes an important contribution to the curriculum, offering the opportunity to investigate how film works both as a powerful medium of representation and as an aesthetic medium. The Eduqas A Level Film Studies course will enable you to understand how the key elements of film form, such as shots, editing and sound, create meaning for the spectator. From this basis, the study of film also incorporates an understanding of broader fields such as the importance of historical context, the representation of people, and the application of theoretical perspectives. You will have the opportunity to study a wide range of films that are both powerful and culturally significant. You will also have the opportunity to demonstrate your own creativity in practical filmmaking and screenwriting.
