By engaging critically with film texts, you learn to deepen your understanding of narrative structure, technique and aesthetics, as well as your appreciation of how filmmakers choose to represent class, race and sexuality on screen.<br/><br/>At Winchester we understand that your perception of film becomes deeper when you bring in perspectives from other disciplines, including politics, philosophy, history, gender and race studies. You study the different histories and styles found in the US, British, European and global industries and there’s an opportunity to undertake practical film work in digital production and screenwriting.<br/><br/>You are taught by a team of film specialists and industry professionals with different backgrounds, whose diverse research expertise is reflected in the breadth and scope of the curriculum.<br/><br/>Year 1 covers core modules, which include Film Narrative, Film Criticism and Reading Film, as well as opportunities to learn media skills.<br/><br/>Study during Year 2 is more specialised and focuses on theoretical and research skills. However, the majority of study in Years 2 and 3 involves optional modules that allow students to focus their study on areas that interest them. Year 2 optional modules may include Contemporary European Cinema, British Cinema, Gangster and Crime Film, Classical Hollywood Cinema and Science Fiction and Fantasy.<br/><br/>Year 3 offers greater scope for more in-depth study and further specialisation. With the exception of the Dissertation, module choices during the final year are entirely optional – you may take courses in Animation, Cult Film and Art Cinema, Identity and Contemporary American Film and Film and the City.<br/><br/>Open 24 hours a day, our Multimedia Centre offers outstanding industry-standard facilities including two HD TV studios with green screens, a newsroom, a computerised radio studio, and facilities for multi-track audio recording. A wide range of equipment is available and the Centre is an Apple Certified Training Centre.<br/><br/>You graduate as a well-informed critical thinker who understands the cross-cultural diversity of the contemporary world.
