BA (Hons) Film Studies and Music Production

... United Kingdom
... Keele University

Course Overview

Keele's combined honours course in Film Studies and Music Production is an exciting programme that allows you to develop key skills in filmmaking, screenwriting and producing sound. You will examine the cultural contexts for which sound is produced and develop a portfolio of skills that will help you to achieve your career ambitions in the creative industries, such as TV, radio, film and games.

Film is a powerful art form that incorporates the study of technology, culture, and aesthetics. At Keele you will delve deep into the theoretical analysis of film from both historical and contemporary perspectives. You will identify key debates in contemporary screen media, and analyse a broad range of film and television texts from the widest cultural contexts. Looking both at 'classic' Hollywood film and newer forms of global film and television, you will consider the characteristics that distinguish these different types of production. You will also have the chance to make further connections to film through the study of other media forms, such as photography and literature.

The depth and breadth of this course will strengthen your critical thinking skills as well as widening your cinematic knowledge and technical abilities. Your experience in Music Production will involve working with audio software, hardware, and digital audio in studio and production set ups. You will be taught by staff in the School of Humanities, with research expertise in a range of specialisms, exploring current trends and topics. You will develop experience in sound recording, audio design and digital sampling, as well as programming, mixing and mastering, enabling you to build confidence using specialised equipment. There will also be opportunities to work with peers to share your ideas and expertise through collaborative projects.

As a graduate, you will be equipped with a wide skill set, preparing you for careers in the film and media industries, as a musician, or in a variety of other professional sectors where you will be able to apply your creative practice and academic knowledge.
