Comments about BA Film with Television Studies - At the institution - Coventry - West Midlands

• Objectives
  This degree aims to define and explore the creative potentialities of film and television, closely examining textual features, assessing critically the achievements of major practitioners, the history of key genres and the various theories of film and television. There is consideration of the historical, sociological and ideological aspects of cinema and television, relating film and television texts to the particular cultures and periods in which they were produced, and exploring the significance of genres and stars and the role of technology and economics. The BA in Film with Television Studies shares some core modules with the BA in Film and Literature, but its coverage of film is wider, and it significantly develops Television Studies.
