Film Studies

In an increasingly media-saturated world, the study of film, in all its forms holds an integral place in our critical understanding of the modern world. As citizens, we should analyse and evaluate the impact of our greatest sources of entertainment and information as they affect our lives. Analysis of media arts is essential to a healthy democracy given that we glean so much information from visual media. This course will give you in-demand critical skills of analysis and evaluation.

Students with an A Level in Film Studies typically go on to work in media. Careers in areas such as film  production, set design, directing, editing and sound are common. Film Studies also allow for careers in journalism, advertising and writing.
