Film Studies

This course of study encourages learners to watch, engage critically with and explore a wide range of film; to develop and sustain confident, personal responses to film via textual analysis; and to enjoy a variety of critically acclaimed films across the major genres. 

These include films from different cultural perspectives, films from the Silent Era to the present day, and different forms of film, including documentary, shorts and experimental. OCR’s A Level in Film Studies reinforces the relationship between academic theory and practice through a synoptic creative production and evaluation where learners are offered the opportunity to engage in practical work such as the production of their own short film or screenplay in response to a brief set by OCR, through the non-examined assessment Component (03/04). It is our strong desire that OCR’s A Level in Film Studies should inspire learners to continue learning beyond the confines of the classroom as well as developing personal and interpersonal skills that will serve them well both in Higher Education and in the workplace.
