About

What is it?
This blog is an online bank of resources, articles and information that should assist and increase the knowledge and understanding of any students studying A2 Film Studies for the WJEC specification. We use blog posts, videos, PowerPoint Presentations, Pdf's and examples of student’s own work to assist learning for coursework and exam modules.


The bulk of the information and content has been compiled and re-edited from existing sources that we believe offer the best insight into the topics covered, these have been referenced or contain links as often as possible. Apologies for any lapses, these can be amended if any source feels uncredited. 


Original content is also included from guidance, lecture notes and student contributions. Encouraging student understanding and achievement is at the heart of all content.


Who is it for?
The blog is for students and others who are passionate about Film and Media as a creative form and wish to engage in cultural discourse. The age range is geared towards A-level and above.


The Aims and Objectives
The site is dedicated to informing and assisting students with analytical, conceptual, technical, visual and cultural debates in contemporary society.


How to navigate the blog
To most efficiently navigate the blog site, we recommend you use the labels section on the right-hand column. Labels categorise posts to ensure the user can find what they are looking for quickly. If all else fails you can search for keywords via the search option on the site. All posts are tagged with keywords, so if you were for example searching for a particular text or topic you can simply search using topics or by referring to specific texts, issues or genres.


The pages listed under the header are stand alone pages that cover some of the fundamental aspects of the courses such as the specification, mark schemes and exam papers.


What else is included?
The blog also hosts a Books Page which gives access to useful on-line books by clicking on the posted covers. This can give students essential information on a wide range of Film and Media Studies issues increasing their theoretical knowledge and are our recommended sources for research tasks.

We believe it is also important to promote our own students work, which is found on the coursework pages. This gives students the opportunity to gauge the content necessary to achieve higher grades and assist motivation and creativity for more challenging work.

Useful websites are also promoted via labels. These labels contain embedded links to ensure students researching are more productive. This can also minimise the dreaded Google search and countless dead ends.
