AS Film Studies Blog Returns!

The AS Film Studies Blog is up and running again, packed full of useful information and links that will help you with both the your coursework at AS and preparation for you AS exam.

Look out for regular posts on all of the topics that you may need to discuss in the exam and useful tips for successfully completing your coursework. Each post is clearly labelled with a heading that outlines the content of the post BUT you can also search the blog by labels such as "Marketing" or "Hollywood" to make it easier to find the information you need.

I urge you to read last year's posts as well as they are all still totally relevant to the topics for this year's exam. Many of these older posts are essential and I won't be posting them again - so, it is important that you look at them.

FM2: British and American Cinema Past Paper - January 2014

The blog also includes all available past papers for the AS exam. It is a little early to start doing them yet BUT after Christmas it will be essential that you practice as many as possible. You should, in the meantime, take a look at them so that you can familiarise yourself with the layout and the types of questions that come up.

The first new post is about viral marketing (in relation to contemporary Hollywood blockbuster The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1) - a vital topic that you will almost certainly need to discuss in Section A: Producers and Audiences on the FM2: British and American Cinema paper.
