Why Study This Subject?

Here at Greenhead College, Film Studies allows you to explore the relationship between moving image theory and practical film making, enabling you to view, discuss and analyse a diverse range of film texts.

You will be introduced to several frameworks, notably narrative construction and structure, representation and genre, and will study the key elements of film.

You will produce a short film or a screenplay with a digitally photographed storyboard and will access industry standard editing equipment. With links to organisations including the British Film Institute, you can access various extension curriculum opportunities to develop your interest and expertise.
