A Level – Film Studies

Film Studies is an extremely enjoyable and worthwhile subject to study, but expect to be constantly challenged and excited by the course. Not only will it change the way you watch film, but more
importantly it will challenge you to think in new ways  and question or change your perspective on a whole  host of issues, for example, representation of race or gender. Studying film allows you to understand important issues and developments within history, society and culture, using film as the medium with which to gain a greater insight into these areas. From Silent Cinema to Contemporary Hollywood,  the films you will study have great critical reputations. They are films of depth and substance which have been purposefully chosen to offer rich and interesting analysis. They represent different time periods and different moments in history showing alternative representations of culture and people.  In addition, the development of deeper critical and creative thinking gained by studying film can enhance many different career paths and is a much sought after transferable skill in both employment and further study.

Students of Film Studies are the students of the future, gaining the skills needed to develop successful careers and great academic minds.
