Media BA (Hons) Film Studies
What’s it about?
Film Studies is about taking films seriously. You will look at the history of cinema, the development of film studies, film as part of our culture and film as one of today’s major entertainment industries. You will also be offered the opportunity to study work- related areas such as film distribution and exhibition and film journalism.
What will I learn?
In year 1 you will learn through a series of core modules and you will be introduced to the history of cinema from its origins to the present day.
The first part of year 2 will extend your basic knowledge and understanding of cinema through core modules that focus on areas such as British cinema and contemporary Hollywood. Following on from this, you will begin to focus your studies on areas you find most interesting by choosing from a number of options that reflect the expertise of Salford’s Film Studies teaching staff.
Year 3 offers a range of options from which you can choose to specialise. All final year students will also complete a dissertation.
Areas of study include: • Film Form, Film Meaning • Critical Approaches to Film • Classical Hollywood Cinema • Genre and Beyond • Comedy and British Cinema • Film and Audiences • Film and Theory • Film Journalism • Cinema Asia • The Gangster Film • Popular European Cinema • Film Distribution and Exhibition • Regional Filmmaking
How will I learn? Teaching is delivered through a combination of lectures, seminars and tutorials. These will be complemented by a series of screenings and talks by visiting experts.
Where can I get a job?
The programme gives you the opportunity to experience a number of film-related careers such as journalism, cinemas and film festivals. These may in turn lead to work writing about cinema, working in the film distribution sector or a role at a cinema or film festival.
