Film Studies is designed to deepen your understanding, appreciation and enjoyment of film. you study cinema as a medium, as an art form and as a social and economic institution. You will engage with a wide variety of films, developing skills of observation, critical analysis and personal reflection.
You'll study:
- the ‘language’ of film and the process of ‘reading’ a film (rather than just being
a passive 'watcher')
- the film industry as producers and audiences as consumers
- the messages, values and representations made in film, particularly in British and American cinema
- world cinema and its cultural diversity
- significant directors, producers and their films
