The BA Film consists of two Majors – Film Production and Film Studies. The Major in Film Production is offered by the Faculty of Humanities and Education as an interdisciplinary programme designed to teach potential filmmakers the technical skills of production at the very highest level, and to ensure that these filmmakers understand the theoretical and aesthetic principles of film. The programme is designed to ensure that this balance between theory and practice is maintained. The programme is also designed to teach high-level analytical and critical skills, so that future filmmakers may assess their own work and the work of other filmmakers. The Major in Film Studies is designed to teach students to evaluate, critique and analyse film products and to understand how film images work. It ensures that future critics and aestheticians of film will also be grounded in the basic technical skills of filmmaking.
