Bachelor of Arts [B.A] [English with French] From University of Plymouth

The course concentrates on film from the point of view of aesthetics, including:

• the detailed study of film style and form, and the articulation of it in writing - for example, narrative structure, use of camera, colour, performance, sound, music, editing and composition;
• matters of philosophical aesthetics, and their particular application to film - for example, value and evaluation, appreciation, ontology, medium, intention, expression, meaning/interpretation, creativity, beauty, metaphor, symbolism, fiction, storytelling, convention, stylistic groupings and histories, emotion, imagination, and the relation between ethics, morality and aesthetics; and
• classic and contemporary film theory and film-philosophy as they relate to film aestheticsÊ
