Studying Film will deepen your understanding, appreciation and enjoyment of the major art form of the last 120 years. We have all been ‘cineliterate’ since early childhood but few realise what a complex act of decoding we take on when we watch a film. Studying cinema as a medium, as art and as a social and economic institution, you will engage with a wide range of different kinds of films, developing skills of observation, critical analysis and personal reflection.
- Minimum entry requirement for Sixth Form is Five 5s. GCSE grade 4 in English Language or Literature is required for the course - 5 grade 5s which include maths and either English Language or Literature, or 5 grade 5s AND at least a 4 in maths and English Language or Literature.
Exam board: WJEC. The ‘A’ Level course will involve two exams, one focusing on American and British film, the other on Varieties of Film. Exams will total 70% of the mark. 30% will come from a creative production of either a short film (4-5 minutes) or a screenplay (1600-1800 words), plus an evaluative analysis of the creative work.
