Year 12 & 13

Film Studies is taught at A/S and A2. We would expect students to have gained a grade B in GCSE Media Studies and/or English, as this is a new subject at this level.
Essay writing and creative skills are needed for coursework and the exam. Students need to be well-organised and be able to work independently as coursework is 50%.
Films and subjects that will be covered in include crime and sci fi genres, and 1960s British cinema at A/S; Surrealism, early cinema, documentary and Hitchcock’s Vertigo at A2.
We are looking for students who keep up with current issues and debates in film if they are to succeed at this level.
