Research into the history of film and create a timeline of some of the key events that have shaped modern filmmaking. Start in the 1880s and bring us right up into 2022.

Things to include in your timeline are:

  • Technological advancements – When was filmmaking invented and by whom? When did home video become popular? When was sound introduced to filmmaking? What/when was the first use of CGI?
  • Famous Examples of Films – When were these released? What impact did they have on the film industry? How much money did they make?
  • Famous Directors – When were they born? What successful films did they make?

Use text and images to display your findings. Be as creative as you can with displaying this information!

Make a collage of your viewing habits to show us what types of moving image products you like to consume and write some annotations on why you like them.

Some ideas on what to include:

  • Films – What movies have really inspired you? Is there a theme to what you enjoy? (e.g. genre, themes, etc.)
  • TV shows – Are there any particular shows that you have watched from start to finish?
  • Documentaries – Do you like watching factual programming? Learning about the world around us and how we as viewers are informed is a really important part of studying media.
  • YouTube videos – Do you subscribe to and watch channels on YouTube? Is there a certain type of topic you like to see discussed online?
  • Music videos – Is there a genre of music or artist that you like and regularly watch music videos of?

I’m very, very happy, I didn’t expect to do so well. The College has been helpful and supportive. I loved my courses, and the teachers were really good – every single one of them. The facilities are great, but it’s the staff that really make this place.

Matthew Randell, A Level student

I overcame a couple of barriers by working really hard to get the top grades. My experience was really good, with the course and the lecturers, the residentials and activities, together it was all really good. I had really great teaching support, I could always go to the lecturers and speak to them if I needed to.
