课程特征 Course Features:
The Department of Drama: Theatre, Film, and Television supports a lively postgraduate culture in film and television studies. Bristol is a focus for film culture: there is a rich variety of cinema venues - the Arnolfini, the Cube and the Watershed Media Centre, as well as major multiplexes - and the city is host to the annual international Encounters Film Festival.
The MA in Cinema Studies engages students with cinema and television in different contexts and genres using historical, textual and theoretical approaches. While the programme is founded on film, in each unit of study there are opportunities for comparative analysis of television and other media. Students selecting the Television pathway (subject to approval) take a dedicated unit, 'Television Forms'. Although the programme is not practice-based, two practice-based options are available to students on writing for screen media and 'narrative practices'.
The programme addresses a wide range of themes, including historic and contemporary practices in cinema and television production, distribution and exhibition; the relationship between contemporary trends and earlier developments in cinema and television history; the role of cinema in the formation of identity; the visual properties of the moving image as an object for analysis.
The core and optional units will equip you with the skills to prepare for the independent research element of the programme. This may take the form of a dissertation or, subject to approval, an industrial placement in a film/television or related organisation, for which a critical essay, which reflects on the experience, is required. Subject to approval, it may also be possible to do the dissertation combining a practice-based and a written element.
