A level film taster day
1. A Level Film Studies
An outline of the course with a focus on the AS
year and some tasks for this morning to
introduce you to Film Studies work.
2. Film Studies encourages you to both broaden
and deepen your understanding of cinema.
You want to do this because you like ďŹlms,
youâre a fan, and you want to know more.
Youâll learn more about how to read a ďŹlm,
about the history of the ďŹlm industry in
Hollywood and in Britain, and about world
cinema.
3. The AS Film Studies course is organised into
two units of work, one assessed by
coursework and one by an exam.
The main focuses of the AS year are on how
to read ďŹlm on a âmicroâ and âmacroâ level
and on British and Hollywood Cinema.
4. FM1 - Exploring Film Form
This is the coursework unit. You have to
produce two pieces of coursework.
The ďŹrst piece is an essay, analysing a short
extract, maybe ďŹve minutes from a ďŹlm of
your choice. You earn your marks by
showing how it uses technical elements of
ďŹlm making like editing, sound and
cinematography to make meaning for the
audience.
We will do some work on a number of ďŹlms
to teach you how to produce this analysis,
but the choice of ďŹlm you actually write
your coursework piece on is up to you.
5. The second piece of coursework is a creative
task - you must produce either a
photographic storyboard for a ďŹlm sequence,
or an extended step outline for a ďŹlm
sequence (which is like a detailed shooting
script).
To do this you must come up with the idea
for a new ďŹlm. You earn your marks by
showing in a practical way that you
understand how ďŹlm uses micro elements
(editing, sound, mise en scene) to make
meaning.
6. FM2 - British and American Film
This is the examination unit. You will sit one
exam in the summer, which lasts for two and
a half hours. There are three sections to
the exam:
Producers and Audiences
Topics in British Cinema
Hollywood Cinema
7. Section A - Producers and Audiences
You have to answer one question, from a
choice of two, about the ďŹlm industry.
Topics covered include the ďŹnances of how
ďŹlms are made, marketing, stars, cinemas and
home cinema equipment, cinema and the
internet, the British ďŹlm industry and ďŹlm
and television.
8. Section B - Topics in British Cinema
The section is on âA Study in Identity:
Borders and Belongingâ - looking at ideas of
âBritishnessâ and ethnic minority experience
in modern Britain.
You have to answer one question from a
choice of two about narrative, genre and
representations.
Exam ďŹlms - âDirty Pretty Thingsâ and
âGhostsâ
9. Section C - Hollywood Cinema
This section asks you to compare two
American ďŹlms which are thematically linked
to each other.
You have to answer one question from a
choice of two, again about narrative, genre
and representations.
Exam Films - âBatmanâ and âThe Dark
Knightâ
10. Assessment
40% of the mark is from the coursework
unit and and 60% is from the examination
unit.
Most of the ďŹrst term will be spent
concentrating on coursework, with some
initial thoughts on the exam work. The exam
work will form the focus of the rest of the
year.
11. A2 Film Studies
The A2 Film Course has two further units:
FM3 - Film Research and a Creative Project,
which is a coursework unit.
FM4 - Varieties of Film Experience: Issues
and Debates, which has sections on World
Cinema, Cinema and Emotional Impact, and a
close study of one set ďŹlm.
12. We spend time in class watching whole ďŹlms
and ďŹlm extracts, writing and re-writing,
note taking, having whole class and small
group discussions, reading, and working
online.
All being well we will have a busy and active
Virtual Learning Environment so we can do a
lot of our work online.
13. Although there are set ďŹlms and set topics
for the exams, you get to set the agenda for
all of your coursework.
You choose the ďŹlm you write about for your
analytical essay.
You choose the kind of ďŹlm you work on for
the creative project.
14. Introductory Task - Narrative
The purpose of this task is to start you
thinking beyond the obvious - how do you
know what is going on in a ďŹlm? What clues
are you actually picking up on?
Watch the opening of Dirty Pretty Things
(the clip is about 8 minutes long) and answer
these questions:-
What is this ďŹlm about? How do you know?
Who are the important characters? How do
you know?
When and where is it set? How do you
know?
15. Introductory Task - Close Reading
A chance to think more closely about how ďŹlms
tell stories.
Watch the clip from âAuditionâ
Look through the microanalysis of the ďŹlm
Watch the clip from âCity of Godâ
Fill in the table with information about how the
ďŹlm uses technical elements of ďŹlm-making to
make meaning
