The units we study offer a wide-ranging exploration of many different aspects of film. Ultimately, our studies lead us towards two exams that total 70% of the A-Level and a coursework portfolio that accounts for the remaining 30%. Our approach to teaching Film ensures that regardless of your starting point you are highly supported in your studies, helping you to become confident and sophisticated learners.
The poster images indicate the set texts that we view and analyse in class, but there are also many other sequences from other films that we use to increase our understanding of each topic area. Broadly speaking, we teach the Paper 1 content in Year 1 and Paper 2 content in Year 2. Meanwhile, we develop your coursework skills in screenwriting and filmmaking in Year 1 and then produce really polished creative work in Year 2.
