A Level in Film Studies

Course summary

Although this is primarily an academic subject, students will also get the chance to learn real practical skills when they make their own short film or screenplay as part of the coursework element (30%). Students will learn the art of filmmaking to a professional standard, engaging with - and eventually mastering - state of the art digital equipment and professional film technology and hardware; from DSLR cameras through to lighting rigs and industry standard editing software. Film Studies is exciting, interesting, creative, challenging and fun, and the Media and Film team have an excellent track record for results. We strive for excellence and subject mastery for all of our students. Film Studies is a subject most students enjoy studying and, crucially, do well in.
