Film is one of the most powerful and influential forms of media in the world. Over the last century, it could tell stories to a global audience that both challenge and celebrate communities and individual lives. During the two-year course, you will gain a deep insight into the medium of cinema through a close textual study of 11 films. Students will analyze British Film, European Film, Hollywood, and documentary. In addition, students will create their own 4-5 minute short film and evaluate the choices that they have made. Due to the analytical approach to filmmaking, as well as the creative element of Film Studies, the course is highly regarded by many universities and can lead to a higher degree in creative arts such as filmmaking or media, or degrees in journalism, history, sociology, or English Literature.
At least six GCSEs at grade 4 or above, with preferably a grade 6 in the subject to be studied. Please note that a BTEC Level 2 at Merit or above counts as only one GCSE equivalent. English and Mathematics at grade 4 or above are compulsory requirements to study a Level 3 course. A minimum of 6 GCSEs at grades 4-9 or above, including a grade 5 in English.
Two exams and a coursework task.
