Students will be introduced to a wide variety of films, combining the study of old and new Hollywood with contemporary/independent American cinema, exploring British cinema, whilst also engaging with European and global cinema. Studies in documentary, experimental and silent cinema enhance the breadth of the learning experience. The course also includes a practical unit where students make a short film or write a screenplay and put their understanding of film language into practice. The course aims to create passionate, informed film makers and appreciators, script writers, editors and content producers.
