Entry Requirements
All students studying for A Level would be expected to have five GCSEs A*-C in academic subjects (of which two must be B grades) including GCSE English Language. Students will need a D grade at AS Level in order to progress to A2.
Curriculum
For the AS Level, we look at:
- The language of film and how it works on an audience
- The different components of film; what we see and hear and how it is presented
- How these different components work upon us and how our responses differ according to who we are, where we are and what we are seeking from the film
- The British and Hollywood film industries
- Who makes films, how they are funded, how we get to see them and how we get to want to see them.
We will look at a series of case studies of British and American films - how they are funded, produced and distributed and consumed. We will study two topics of British film – British horror films and rather gritty urban stories of ordinary people caught up in crime. Lastly we look at two American films – an original and a remake – and look at how they reflect the time and place in which they were made.
In the second A2 part of the course, we will turn to look at the wider context of world cinema, documentary, and different, theoretical approaches to cinema.
