Develop your writing and filmmaking skills while learning about the films, writers and directors that have shaped the medium by studying for our BA (Hons) Writing and Film degree in Cambridge. You’ll learn to tell stories which engage audiences, whether you want to write poetry, drama, short fiction, or make films and documentaries. You’ll explore and develop professional writing techniques related to film including screenwriting and film journalism. You’ll learn to analyse and interpret films, discovering how cinematography, sound, editing and mise-en-scène work together to provoke emotional and intellectual responses in viewers, and exploring key concepts such as genre, feminism, Marxism, queer theory and critical race theory. You’ll also explore, practice, and experiment with filmmaking codes and conventions, putting what you’ve learned into practice by creating your own 3-5 minute film.
BA (Hons) Writing and Film Studies students go on to successful careers in a variety of fields, including film and video production, film criticism, cinema/film festival administration and management, film education, broadcasting, journalism and publishing.
You’ll develop literacy, creativity, problem-solving, analysis and communication skills, which are highly valued by employers. You can enhance your CV by taking advantage of our extensive local and national media contacts to gain experience on work placements. Previous students have undertaken work experience at Cambridge University Press, ITN, BBC, Pinewood Studios, the New York Film Academy, and many more.
