Hey, I was wondering, should I take Film Studies? I really want to be a film editor or cinematographer when I'm older and so I guess taking Film Studies A level can give me a bit of experience and it also looks so interesting, I'd love to study it!
However, many people go on about how "easy" Film Studies is and how it's really not well respected by Unis so is it worth taking? Plus I've been advised to take more "academic" subjects because of my current grades at GCSE.
I've never officially "studied" Film before but I've done a few things at school, plus the college I'm planning on going to has a great Film department (last year they got 100% A*-C).
I'm getting straight A/A* at GCSE at the moment and I'm a really hard worker so hopefully I could get a good grade at A level but I can't really determine because I don't study A level so I can't really say much.
I thinking of also taking Maths, Theology/Philosophy, and History as well and possibly an English.
I just really want to know whether Film Studies will be helpful, and also, to any current or post A level Film Studies student: what is Film Studies like in your opinion?
Thanks for any advice! Please could you also check out my other question (
