Film Studies

Course summary

Lights, camera, action! A Level Film Studies is a two year course which will give you the opportunity to develop your knowledge of how a film works as a text through analysis and evaluation. We study mainstream, Hollywood films, as well as a broad range of British, foreign and experimental films. Our approach is similar to English Literature – we focus on developing a critical understanding of film from a number of different perspectives: genre, narrative, film language and institution.
