Film Studies
AS/A2 Level - Two-year course
This course will appeal to students who enjoy watching and criticising films and who have an interest in exploring the related theoretical concepts and practical elements of storyboarding and video-making.

Film Studies is designed to deepen students- understanding, appreciation and enjoyment of film - the major art form of the twentieth century. It offers the focus for reflection and debate, building on what students already know as spectators, consumers and fans. The interaction between film as 'text' and spectator is central, with a strong emphasis on the film's producers and spectators as 'makers of meaning'.

In year one (AS), the course introduces the basics of the subject by reference to popular cinema, such as Hollywood and Britain, beginning with the types of films that students are already familiar with. Short film-making is also an option.

In year two (A2), there is a clear progression with opportunities for study in World Cinema and personal research. Short film-making is also an option.

Careers and Further Studies
Film Studies offers a worthwhile and enjoyable course of study, both for students with an interest in the subject and as preparation for Higher Education and employment.
