Genre Theory, narratives, representations • You will be studying these film “types” to identify how they are different, how they are the same and why genre is so important to film producers and audiences. • You will be looking at how narratives are created and how audiences respond to them. • Representation- How film uses a frame to create a world and people that we recognise but who are not real.
Year 11: Term Two: • You will be learning and studying film language, in detail. • You will be completing the four set tasks for your CA • These will be giving you the skills you need to prepare you for your final Controlled Assessment in year 12.

Who is it not for: • People who fancy having a go with a camera • People who believe that Moving Image Arts is about watching films • Anyone who thinks you will be writing less- you will be analysing film in as much detail as you study a novel! • Anyone who thinks that making a film or using editing software is easy.
Careers and Further Study • We offer the subject at A Level between ourselves and Kilkeel High school. • There are many universities that offer film studies • It would be extremely useful for a career in the media or film industry.
