Welcome to Film Studies

Welcome to a new adventure in Film…Studies.

We will give you the opportunity to learn about the key roles in film production in a hands on way. Together we will  explore film in a variety of ways and will encourage you to study films that you love.

Here is a rough outline of the course.

The IB is an international course and at its heart is a desire, ‘to create a better and more peaceful world through intercultural understanding and respect.’

Film is a wonderful way to give you a window into the wider world and to learn about other cultures and perspectives. So, whilst we will be looking at some British & American films we will be also exploring films made in other countries.

So the first film we will be working on together is a Spanish Film called Pan’s Labyrinth.

You can watch the whole film here, but will need to use your school Google account to access it. Otherwise we have several DVD copies.

You need to watch this film in it’s entirety over the next weeks. We will be exploring this film in lots of different ways and there are bound to be spoilers, so please make sure you have watched it by next Monday (there may be a test to check you have watched…)
