Film Studies - AS/A2
Film is now being regarded by many as one of our most important art form's, with
each film being seen as a social document of its time.
During the course you firstly study film form, narrative and genre, where you will
develop skills in 'reading'
films for the Directors intentions. These skills will
then be further applied to Hollywood, British and World Cinema where you will be
encouraged to develop your own response to examples before finally employing your
learnt knowledge by making your own short film.
Hyde Clarendon is superbly equipped with a big screen and surround
sound facilities making for a realistic "cinematic experience". The only drawback to Film Studies
is that you will never be able to watch a film in the same way again!
