This course aims to expand your knowledge and understanding of the significance of film and film practice in national global and historical context (including social cultural political and technological contexts). You will explore how film generates meanings and responses as well as the ways in which spectators respond to film. Throughout the course you will apply critical approaches to film. There will be coverage of 12 film case studies across the 2 years involving screening and more in depth clip analysis. There will also be the opportunity to demonstrate knowledge and understanding of film through either filmmaking or screenwriting. Recent visits and trips in Film Studies have included the Arts Picturehouse in Cambridge as well as New York where students visited the Museum of Moving Image. Throughout the year we have had a range of visiting speakers from industry professionals to previous students. Our students have been involved in local filming projects and have been successful on the Cambridge British Film Academy and the National British Film Academy. You will enjoy and benefit from Film Studies if you: are interested in the way that cinematic techniques are used to express a range of themes; would like to look at the practical side of film-making; are keen to carry out independent investigative research rather than just listening and reading and feel confident about expressing your views in writing. are a keen cinema-goer interested in viewing a wide range of genres from around the world.
