BFI STUDY DAY


Year 12: ‘Introduction to the Film Industry: an AL Study Day’ at the British Film Institute on Wednesday 2 November 2016


The media department has arranged a trip to The BFI South Bank to attend a study day in support of their OCR GSE examination Key Concepts: Audiences and Institutions. It will be delivered by Rob Miller, OCR media studies lecturer and consultant. The trip will be led by Mrs Mann.

A study of the film industry is a requirement of all Film and Media Studies specifications and this interactive day offers an opportunity to find answers to key examination questions. There will be interactive, clip-based presentations about film production, distribution, exhibition and exchange in an online age with a particular focus on the ways in which digitisation has changed film consumption and distribution. Guest speakers from both mainstream and independent sectors will deliver Q&A sessions. A resource pack for students on the day is also included.

UPDATE: We are now using the resource pack to write an exam essay for G322 on audiences and institutions in the film industry.
