A Level Film Studies will enable you to develop a greater appreciation of different genres of film and to understand the history of film. It will also allow you to develop a critical approach to analysing film and relate films to the social and cultural contexts in which they exist. The course helps to develop key literacy, analytical, creativity and ICT skills. In addition to this, you will develop key skills in communication, team work and time management. You will be involved in group work at times, but will also be required to engage in independent study.
No prior knowledge of the subject is required. It is recommended that candidates have attained a 5 or above in GCSE English Language.
The A-Level is assessed through two external examinations (worth 35% each), both taken at the end of the course, and a non-examined assessment (NEA) practical unit (worth 30%) which you will complete in the autumn term of Year 13. Component 1: Varieties of film and film-making (EXAM) Component 2: Global film-making perspectives (EXAM) Component 3: Production (NEA)
