Programme Objectives
The purpose of the programme is to help students develop a sophisticated understanding of a range of films in the context of core theoretical and analytical concepts and debates underpinning film studies.
Students will learn various strategies for analysing films, while considering the influence and wider implications of film history, ideology, form, aesthetics and policy. In addition to the core modules that offer a grounding in film analysis and film theory, the programme will offer a range of modules examining a broad area of concerns within film studies that may include: genre, authorship, national and transnational cinemas, stardom, Hollywood, early cinema, digital cinema, film representation, audiences, music and sound on film, youth cinema, experimental and cult cinemas. The programme also offers two additional pathways in World Cinema and Creative Practice.
