Film and Media Studies are the study of screen art and communication forms that have become central to every aspect of contemporary life. Alongside the detailed analytical and historical study of film, you will analyse diverse cultural texts such as television, photography, advertisements, magazines, digital media and news. You will investigate the relationship between historical and cultural movements and media and film production, exploring the ways in which these forms are products of their time and place. You will combine the technical study of film and media with the opportunity to produce work of your own, ranging from photography and video to magazines online. We also provide opportunities to take work placements through our links to the creative and media industries.
As a student in the Film Studies and Media (Hons) programme from Keele University , then, you will learn to employ theoretical, historical and cultural strands of enquiry to analyse both classical and contemporary cinema, as well as making creative connections between Film and other art forms.
Media, Communications and Creative Practice is a dynamic course, which involves both practical and theoretical elements. On the practical side, students develop an understanding of and skills in photography, advertising campaigns, news programmes, digital publishing, film and documentary production and post production techniques, and in the third year students are given the opportunity to plan and produce a major creative project. On the theory side, students explore the ways in which we understand the terms media and culture both today and historically, and analyse how a range of media forms such as film, television, photography and literature produce cultural meaning.
