About this course
This course is ideal for students who are passionate about film and would like to study the art of film through analysis, discussion, critical writing, creative screenwriting and filmmaking. Students will study a wide range of films from different genres, historical periods and contrasting styles to discover how narrative and film language construct meanings and aesthetic pleasures. The course will also explore ideas of film authorship, the psychology of spectator responses, ideological analysis and consider how the cultural and historical contexts of the films affect and influence them, making AL Film such a rich and rewarding course for any student.
