Enrich your existing appreciation and enjoyment of film. Why choose Film Studies? Film Studies is designed to enrich your existing appreciation and enjoyment of film. It is a well-established academic subject which offers you the opportunity to engage with a wide range of different films and gain confidence with a range of critical approaches to film, learning to ‘read’ a film, considering the nature of the relationship between an audience and a film, and studying the importance of social and institutional factors to film production. The subject lends itself to a wide range of approaches: class discussion, individual study and research, written analysis, essays, writing screenplays, producing storyboards and film journalism. There will also be opportunities for cinema visits. You will also have opportunities to develop skills of critical analysis, to examine the meanings and values contained in films, to understand and ‘read’ the language of films, and to understand cinema as an industry. Film is an underrated subject. Not only is it interesting to learn about the making of films, it is also important both artistically and culturally to learn about the times and aspect of society it reflects and critiques, drawing from issues and topics relevant in all corners of the world. For me, Film Studies is the study of life as we know it." Sam O'Dell
