Why Study Film Studies?
Film Studies is an exciting and engaging course that will give you a new appreciation of cinema. If you love going to the cinema, watching films, and talking about them with friends, then this might just be the course for you.
Learn about the importance of the technical elements of film, alongside ideas of representation, context and ideology. If you watched films passively in the past, then this course will equip you with the ability to analyse the ‘poetic’ and more symbolic nature of film.
With an eclectic range of twelve excellent pieces of Cinema to study over the two years, you will leave the course as the ultimate ‘film buff’. Longsands Sixth Form was selected as a ‘commended centre’ for the quality of our short film and script production from the course.
Where can Film Studies take me next?
Many of our students go on to study Film at University with a view to building a career within the industry. Others seek a more practical route into Television and Film production.
Film Studies Enrichment and Super-Curricular
Cinema Trips and Film Talks are arranged across the two years. A film club will also run during enrichment sessions.
