Film Studies

Assessment

You will usually attend four hours per week, timetabled throughout the day as well as during twilights. There may also be organised revision classes building in preparation for the examinations. In addition, you will study and work on exercises in your own time. It is expected that for every hour of taught lesson, you will have one hour of independent study, plus revision of the course so far. Screenings of key texts will often take place outside of the curriculum and there are opportunities to spread the love of film and develop personal skills though school wide film clubs and organisations of the CHS film conference hosted at the Gulbenkian and open to other schools. Your teacher will also be your academic adviser who will be available to offer general guidance and advice on your studies. Throughout your study you will have tutorials and mock assessments to assess your understanding on the various exam topics, allowing you to discuss your work and improve your knowledge of these independently. Coursework a vital element of the course as it assesses practical application of key learning. It is assessed internally and externally moderated.
