Film Studies is an extremely enjoyable and worthwhile subject to study but expect to be constantly challenged and excited by the course. Not only will it change the way you watch film, but more importantly it will challenge you to think in new ways and question or change your perspective on a whole host of issues. Studying film allows you to understand important issues and developments within history, society, and culture, using film as the medium with which to gain a greater insight into these areas. In addition, the development of deeper critical and creative thinking gained by studying film can enhance many different career paths and is a much sought-after transferable skill in both employment and further study.
You will have achieved at least 5 GCSEs at grade 4 or above, including English and Maths. It is not a requirement for you to have studied Film or Media Studies at GCSE.
You will be assessed by sitting 2 exams at the end of Year 13, Components 1 and 2. These exams are written and account for 70% of your qualification. They will test you on the knowledge and skills that you have developed over the 2 year course. The remaining 30% of the qualification is gained by completing Component 3. This is an NEA Production where you will have the opportunity to plan, film and edit a short film or write a professional script.
