Film Studies Diploma Course Information
Film Studies is a rapidly growing academic discipline focusing on the critical analysis of films as texts and how films capture, represent and even shape our understanding of the world.
Through the study of various filmmaking techniques, film tropes, and case studies of a range of films throughout history, this course provides the tools for analysing films of all ages, genres and types.
Discover filmmaking, from its inception to the modern day, and the impact of technological advancements within the industry.
Explore the importance of camera shots and lighting in cinematography. We’ll look at the terminology of different shots and how directors use shots to control audience reaction, along with how lighting is used to create mood and enhance the narrative. We’ll also examine the role of settings, props, costumes and make-up to portray both realism and surrealism.
Learn about the role of editors, the work they do, the terminology for different types of edits and how each type can be used for specific effects. We’ll also look at visual effects, from modelling and animation to CGI and rendering.
Examine how sound is used to further develop characters and plot and contribute to the creation of the film’s world. Look at narrative – exploring narrative structures, the use of narrative techniques and the difference between ‘plot’ and ‘story’. Explore character categories, the use of Jungian archetypes in film, and how archetypes are used in condensed story-telling.
Lastly, we’ll analyse the elements of a variety of film posters and why the graphic designers who created them made specific choices.
