A Level Film Studies

Studying Film Studies with ED6 drives exploration of the constantly evolving forms of film making and the theory behind the developing nature of cinematography. We look at films from a range of classic to modern day blockbusters to compare the ever-present details in developing a narrative and the encompassing use of technology to deliver a masterclass in on screen action. Once we have embedded the knowledge, we need to master the practical! We will be creating short films, scenes and scripts of our own with a goal of becoming film makers ourselves! Over the 2-year Course we will look at a large range of theories, products & developing methods of practical activities. The briefs for coursework and session content change every year so we will have new and fun opportunities to explore in every term!
