Program Overview

Film Studies and Media at Keele combines two subjects of study that complement each other in both theory and practice. Film is a powerful art form that incorporates the study of technology, culture, and aesthetics, whilst media allows you to develop practical skills in film making, editing and specialised equipment.

You will explore the theoretical aspects of media, critically evaluate content and develop new ideas throughout your studies. You will widen your cinematic and cultural knowledge through a range of innovative and creative teaching and assessment methods.

Film studies at Keele allows you to delve deep into the theoretical analysis of film from both historical and modern perspectives, identifying key debates in contemporary screen media, and analysing a broad range of film and television texts from the widest cultural contexts. Ranging across Hollywood film, world cinemas and newer forms of global film and television, you will consider the characteristics that distinguish these different types of production. You may wish to develop key skills in creative filmmaking, as well as in related practices such as screenwriting. You may also have the chance to make further connections to film through the study of other media forms, such as photography and literature.

Media allows you develop your understanding of how our mediated world has developed, and the role of media industries, texts and audiences in shaping that world. You will explore media in the context of business, politics and history and will review and analyse a range of media forms such as social media and the news. This will help to inform your theoretical learning, before analysing key themes and concepts that can be applied to your practical work.

There are a number of exciting activities to get involved in across this degree programme including film making, photography, broadcasting and sound recording. These experiences will allow you to showcase and develop your skill set and apply your learning in a creative setting, using industry-standard equipment. The depth and breadth of film studies and media will enhance your powers of expression and discussion, as well as providing you with transferable skills across film and media industries, or in a variety of other professional sectors. You will be equipped with a wide range of skills that will enable you to produce high quality media content, as well as improving your skills as a writer, speaker and researcher. You will also work with others to develop and collaborate on projects, learning how to embrace new ideas and build effective working relationships.
