A selective sixth form centre for excellence 17 FRENCH A LEVEL FILM STUDIES A LEVEL An A Level in a modern foreign language would be beneficial to a great majority of courses at university and would be particularly helpful if you choose to spend a year abroad. Modern languages can lead to a variety of exciting careers such as translating, interpreting, finance, law, sales and marketing, engineering, tourism, leisure, public sector, United Nations and European Union, media, teaching (primary and secondary), and linguistics. Additionally, the knowledge of a foreign language can allow you to pursue any career at an international level. CONTENT This course will help to expand your interest in the French language and culture, as well as develop your linguistic skills. You will focus on a range of historical and contemporary topics which will further develop your understanding of France and Francophone countries. You will also study French literature and film, which will encourage you to stay up to date with French current affairs. You will also have the opportunity to travel to France, to improve your linguistic skills and knowledge of French culture. ENTRY REQUIREMENTS In addition to the general entry requirements for CTK Aquinas on page 10, you will also need GCSE French at a grade 9-6. ASSESSMENT You will be assessed on your listening, reading, writing, speaking and grammar manipulation through translation. An A Level in Film Studies can lead to a broad range of professions – from journalism to presenting. It’s a modern, exciting subject. Once you’re trained in your chosen field, your qualification will open up a whole new world of possibilities – you could go on to become a TV or radio presenter, journalist, film director or producer. CONTENT Your A Level in Film Studies will focus on the analysis and deconstruction of film over a wide historical time frame. It will allow you to engage with films from early silent cinema to 1930s Hollywood films to contemporary and experimental cinema. You will be introduced to a wide range of film-making processes so that you develop, through discussion, analysis and debate, a wide range of technical skills for both constructing and deconstructing film. This will give you the ability to develop your own creative skills as you explore these film-making techniques from different times and places. The coursework element of the course will allow you to experiment with a variety of film-making technology and film-editing software to develop your creative skills. You will be expected to think independently and to develop your own ‘voice’, and you will be expected to expand your knowledge outside of the classroom through reading about and watching film. You will work with your peers to debate and pull apart the set film texts and to develop a sophisticated contextual understanding of the world at the time these films were made. ENTRY REQUIREMENTS Please see the standard entry requirements for CTK Aquinas on page 10. ASSESSMENT External examination and coursework. There is a high demand for modern foreign language skills, which can be used in almost any career, particularly in businesses that trade internationally.
