are these 4 subjects too much?

Why are you taking a random BTEC alongside 3 A levels?

I don't think you should do four subjects in general unless you're aiming for Oxbridge - English Lit is a very heavy subject (trust me, I know!) and on most exam boards includes coursework which will eat up more of your time. Also, if you take four subjects you're locking yourself out of an additional study/EPQ in future, which can be fun and/or useful depending on what your next steps are going to be.
I can't say whether you should do film studies or English, but if you want to do something related to film studies when you're older, do film studies. If not, do English and maybe look for a film studies related additional study/activity in the future 🙂 Hope this helps!

I feel Film, English and Health and Social Care are essay based.
I'm taking Film Studies for A-level. To be fair, from my own experience there is far more writing I need to do than when I was doing it for GCSE.
But it really depends on how you are feeling with the workload from the subjects. I think if you wanted, you can drop a subject if necessary.

It does thanks! I’m really thinking now if I want to switch English Lit out for Film studies as it may help my career in art a lot more.

I’ve decided im going to switch out English Lit if I want to do Film studies- I’d have to catch up on Casablanca but I’ll do that over the two weeks. How’re you finding the subject so far? And if not too personal what career are you looking to do afterwards with it? Just so I can get an idea what careers it can lead to.

As said in the other thread, even if aiming for Oxbridge, doing 4 A-levels is pointless and can in fact put you at a disadvantage in the form of receiving a stricter offer than if you’d had simply done 3 A-levels. I’ve seen this with Cambridge and Imperial on TSR.
There’s no unless to be had, at least not based on university as opposed to the course or the general trend of your school (is doing 4 A-levels the norm in your school to the point where the university that you’re applying to factors this context into their admissions process). Apologies for the tone.
The only time where it might (in my opinion) be more consistently common to do 4 A-levels is if one of those 4 A-levels is FM or the Welsh Bacc. Beyond that? Nah, not really unless it’s the norm in your school or you genuinely have an interest for all 4 subjects.
OP if you want to do the equivalent of 4 A-levels then go for it if you’re genuinely interested and you’re confident that doing so won’t hamper your grades. What courses are you looking to apply for OP? Doing 4 won’t give you an advantage regardless unless you’re applying to a university that gives offers based on UCAS points maybe.

So far alright. Quite a lot of content to absorb and put into essay.
And usually studying Film Studies leads to working in film production or other media production, I guess? I'm not 100% sure. You can Google it. But just so you know, the film industry is currently highly competitive to get in, if you're thinking about to study Film in Uni.

I’m thinking about pursuing an animation career, if not that I’d like to become a tattoo artist. I know at first it doesn’t pay that well, but it’s something I’d enjoy and look forward to. Becoming a concept artist was my dream job before a tattoo artist and is something I think I’d exceed at, I’m aware that it’s a hard and competitive industry to get into but it’s worth a try. Plus I’ve talked to the teacher teaching Film studies this year and he said it can lead to any path in humanities.
