Why are animations are often released at the end of October? Why is Ewan McGregor such a successful movie star? Why do most horror films use the same techniques to frighten us? A Level Film Studies aims to answer questions like these and to deepen your understanding, appreciation and enjoyment of film as an art form. This is the only A Level course of its kind; it is more specific than Media Studies in terms of texts studied, but it is as academically challenging. Building on students own knowledge and interest in film, starting with American and British film at AS, you will learn skills of analysis and evaluation as you will learn the visual and audio techniques used by film-makers. These skills will then be given a practical, creative outlet as the coursework component gives the opportunity for you to make a short film. Whether you are interested in a particular film genre, want to find out more about the film industry and how it works or fancy yourself as the next Steven Spielberg, Film Studies is for you. Fascinated by film and the moving image? Then take Film Studies.
