Reframing Assessment

FM10120 Studying Film is a core first-year undergraduate module in Film Studies. The module is designed for a large cohort of students (approximately 150) emolled on the BA Film and Television Studies. As such, it is intended to introduce students to key aspects of the study of film, including issues around representation, formal analysis, geme, audiences, stardom, moral debates and narrative. It lays the foundations for undergraduate study in the second and third years (as well as postgraduate study), so it is clearly important that the module both facilitates the future growth of the students' knowledge and helps them to develop key skills that will not only help them in their current and future studies, but will also ideally help them in their future working lives.
