IFY Film and Media Studies 2020/21: January Cohort 

Welcome to the Film and Media Studies (FMS) Moodle Page for January 2020/21.

Over the past 100 years film and media has grown into an enormously powerful part of almost all societies in the world. Every aspect of modern living is affected by film and media both as an industry and cultural phenomenon. Indeed, film and media are integral features of our experience of modernity itself.

The module is designed to introduce you to a range of forms and genres with an emphasis on developing the academic language needed to analyse texts. You will learn about the different theoretical approaches in the study of film and media and how these offer a deeper understanding of the ways texts operate within society more broadly.

Being a creative subject and within the Arts and Social Sciences pathway, this module also has some opportunities for you to demonstrate your creativity, which will give you a chance to illustrate your understanding and appreciation of visual language.

Finally, this module will help develop and sharpen your media literacy allowing you to argue and articulate complex and sophisticated ideas pertaining to the world of film and media.
