DESCRIPTION
This module offers a survey of the British film industry, exploring both its historical construction since 1980 and contemporary manifestation in terms of film form and industrial structure. With the help of outside speakers it enables students to understand not only the basics of certain professions within the industry (from writing and directing to acting and producing), but how those professions operate in the current global marketplace. The module promises an unusual combination of industry-based and academic experiences covering various aspects of the film industry, and while not intended as vocational training it nevertheless provides a unique opportunity to intimately explore the industry and to gain a careers awareness. Diversity is addressed in this module in the film extracts and issues chosen for class discussion, particularly in relation to issues of representation in British cinema and to the composition of the film industry.
