Film Studies will interest anyone who not only enjoys cinema going, but is also curious about how films are put together and how they communicate to their audience. From the base of a fully-equipped cinema classroom you will explore the social history surrounding a range of films and genres. European in flavour, ideas, styles, movements and thinkers feature throughout, providing a sound platform for university study in any discipline. This course covers the development of cinema from its beginnings around a century ago up to the present day. A wide variety of approaches for analysis are adopted, from formal, narrative and genre, gender and Freudian, through to the personal and the development of your own critical voice. You will participate in detailed analytical viewing, discussion and personal research. You will explore a wide variety of (often independent) films, from the bizarre to the classic. In addition to the films themselves, you will consider the industrial and economic context in which the films were made, with particular focus on the Hollywood studio system and the British film industry. There are optional opportunities to visit both Los Angeles and New York and student achievement is celebrated at an annual red carpet event hosted by the Regal Cinema in Henley, with whom we enjoy a rewarding partnership. Opportunities to exhibit your work exist through the College’s newly established VIBE production company and our links with the local media.
