Course Description

This module will provide an introduction to the reading of film, the history of the medium and the central theories of film criticism. Learners will achieve this by analysing film clips in session through the applications of different lenses taught in each session. Learners will then be expected to take what they have learned in the sessions and apply it to watching films.

Introduction to Film Studies can be studied as a stand-alone course and it is an optional course for the Certificate of Higher Education in Creative Writing at Aberystwyth University.
