What the college says

Film Studies A level is an exceptional and unique course, because instead of drawing on subjects you have previously studied, for most students it is brand new. Our students are usually film fans who want to take their passion for film to a new level. If you enjoy English you will usually enjoy Film Studies. A successful Film Studies student will need to be interested in the world of film: understanding the relationship between films and viewers, watching movies from a range of genres and film movements, analysing issues of representation and discussing why we see the films we do in cinemas. You will enjoy film and want to find out more about the production and social context of the movies you watch.
