Master film studies as you learn how films create meaning.

When you watch a film there are many elements working together to produce what you see and hear. The different elements, known as devices, have been carefully constructed so that your attention is drawn to certain things at certain times, forming the way in which a film communicates its story.

On this five-week course, you’ll unpack these elements to discover how they work, what they are called, and how they work together.

You’ll watch a range of short extracts from films and hear from filmmakers to understand why different devices have been chosen and the ways in which film creates meaning.
