Film is widely acknowledged as the major art form of the 20th century and today film continues to be an important part of most peoples' cultural experience. GCSE Film Studies aims to place candidates experiences and creative ideas at the centre of the specification. Starting with familiar mainstream films, the course allows you to study films and the ways in which they are experienced in todays global society, and investigates the place film has in communicating ideas, attitudes and cultural beliefs, both now and in the past. This is approached through three inter-related study areas, which act as a framework for studying and creating film: - the language of film. - the organisations which produce, distribute and exhibit films. - the audiences for film. Controlled Assessment: Candidates will be required to submit one film exploration and one production for their controlled assessment. The work for the controlled assessment is designed to draw on candidates personal experiences of consuming and responding to film and to allow them to demonstrate understanding through creative production work. The external assessment, worth 50% of the total mark, is in the form of two papers. The first is based on a set film made outside Hollywood and the second on the popular Superhero genre, both topics introduced at the beginning of the year.
