BA Film and Screen Media, CAO Code: CK105
The philosophy of the BA is that theory, analysis and history must be informed by practice, and that practice must, in turn, be informed by a deep understanding of how cinema and ideas about the moving image have developed. Hence, this unique programme innovatively combines the study of film and of screen media (Internet, mobile social media, e-publishing) and practical filmmaking modules and workshops in digital filmmaking and in writing for the screen.
Why should I study Film and Screen Media?
Nowadays, more than ever before, national and international cultures operate, communicate, entertain and celebrate their identities in powerful and important visual ways. Contemporary citizens of the world interact in visually complex ways, and the media that they use work by projecting, merging, distributing, enhancing and displaying images.
