Film Studies is an exploration of a wide variety of films across time and style, and helps broaden knowledge and understanding of the range of responses films can generate. There are opportunities to study mainstream and independent British and American films from the past and present, as well as more recent global films, both in English and non-English languages. The theoretical knowledge and understanding of film will be assessed in exam components and applied to practical non-exam assessment of either a short film or pre-production work.

The theoretical knowledge and understanding of film will be assessed in exam components and applied to practical non exam assessment of either a short film or pre-production work.
You must meet the specific requirements for the subject and, as a minimum, achieve at least 5 GCSEs at level 5 or above, including English and Maths. Study of Film or Media at GCSE is not essential. Skills in analysis and conceptual understanding are, however, required for this largely academic course.
Assessment at the end of year two will be two examinations totalling 70%, including the topics covering Classical Hollywood, Hollywood across time, contemporary independent film, film movements, documentary, global film and short films. The non-exam assessment is worth 30% of the qualification. This will take the form of a short film or a screenplay for a film and a digitally photographed storyboard, both accompanied with an evaluative analysis.
