The Story Continues...

Dear 13x,

Welcome to A2 Film Studies! You've made it so far, and you've got the basics of film making and analysis. This year is about consolidating what you've already learned and extending your film experience. The A2 course is call 'Varieties of Film Experience', and that's what you should get; a varied experience of a range of very different films.

To start with, please could you post your responses below to the following questions:

1. Why did you choose to do Film Studies?
2. What do you hope to gain from the course?
3. What did you enjoy about the course last year?
4. What do you think could have been improved?
5. Of the films that you studied last year, which would you say is the most interesting and why?

Thank you for your responses!

Mrs Roberts
