Film Studies

Course summary

Studying film provides you the opportunity to analyse and deconstruct a wide range of cinema. You will learn about the history and development of the film form by studying a variety of films eras, for example Hollywood from 1930-1990 where you will compare a film from ‘Classic Hollywood’ to ‘New Hollywood’. As well as this you will study films from a range of cultures and movements, such as silent cinema, experimental film, and two foreign language films. Once you’ve learnt the key elements of film form, we hand it over to you. You will have the opportunity to work in small group practical lessons with our Technical Support Assistant, an ex-industry professional, to learn how to film, edit and produce your own short film or screen play for a narrative of your own choice.
