Ah ... you donna foola me: ....The Marx Brothers were no relation to Karl .

Probably.  And had a much better relation to capital.  Except maybe Chico.


Film Studies at this level involves getting to grips with how moving pictures use codes and conventions to create meanings.  The three modules comprise study of editing techniques and camera work; genre, character and story structure; and the marketing and consumption of movies.  You will also have the opportunity to study some British films in detail and the contexts in which they were made.

The course comprises three pieces of coursework (FS1) and two exams, each requiring two essay questions (FS2 & FS3).
