Film Studies is an exciting and intellectually rich A Level that explores one of the most influential art forms of the last century. This course, offered through Eduqas, invites students to examine film as a powerful medium of storytelling, artistic expression, and cultural commentary. Students will study a diverse range of films—from classic Hollywood and British cinema to global, independent, and documentary productions. Through close analysis of visual style, narrative, genre, and ideology, learners develop critical and theoretical understanding alongside an appreciation of the industry’s social and historical context. What sets Eduqas Film Studies apart is its blend of academic and creative work. Students produce their own screenplay or short film for coursework, applying the techniques they study to original work. This makes the course particularly rewarding for those with an interest in both analysis and production. Ideal for aspiring filmmakers, writers, media professionals, or anyone passionate about film, this course builds key skills in critical thinking, research, creative development, and communication. It also complements subjects such as English, Art, Drama, and Media Studies. Film Studies is not just about watching movies—it’s about understanding how they shape the world and how you can shape them in return.
5 x 9-5 passes at GCSE, with English and Maths at a grade 5 or above A grade 6+ in the subjects students would like to study (or related subjects)
