This course uniquely offers you the opportunity to look closely at the style and meaning of films and television programmes. As well as exploring elements like star performances, camerawork and music, you will receive hands-on experience of designing film festivals, and promotional activities. Across the course, you will also be equipped in the art of writing film and television criticism. Equally, this year we will be focusing on representations of screen violence, style and sexuality, and interpreting the modern American TV drama.
