At AS, you’ll gain a knowledge and understanding of narrative and genre, and how these are used by film-makers to convey their message to the audience. You’ll also undertake an intensive study of the film industries in Hollywood and the UK, producing coursework and studying for exams which allow you to demonstrate this knowledge. There is a degree of choice in the films you choose to produce your coursework on. In addition to the critical academic skills you’ll develop, you’ll also learn to look at films through the eyes of a director and film critic. You’ll learn the language used on film sets and in post-production for camera work and editing techniques, as well as how these impact on audiences. You’ll also develop your practical film-making skills, resulting in the individual production of a sequence from a film at AS, and a complete short film at A2. Some of our student who love writing also learn to produce professional screenplays and submit these as coursework instead of film production.
