FILM STUDIES

Course summary

Have you ever wanted to make your own film? Be behind the camera or even learn how to edit and manipulate images? Have you ever had a great idea for a new film? Maybe you don’t think you are that creative – that’s ok, have you ever considered how powerful films can be? Film Studies offers a whole range of new skills that can be applied to almost all other subjects, but most importantly skills that can transfer to further education (university) or to industry based work. As film theorists you will research and examine the techniques used through film language and how it is used to attract audiences. You will become critical enquirers, questioning why certain decisions are made. Film Studies involves the close analysis of the images, sounds and text that we experience. You will also produce your own short film and learn practical skills that will develop over the two year course.
