EPQ Film Studies tutors
1 UK tutor who teach Film Studies at EPQ.
Film Studies is offered at GCSE and A-level (Eduqas is the main board) and covers film analysis (mise-en-scène, cinematography, editing, sound, performance), film history, and screenplay/short-film coursework. The set films range across Hollywood classical, European art cinema, world cinema, and contemporary British and American work. Tutoring helps most with the analytical writing (students often describe what they see without applying critical frameworks) and with the coursework, where structure and craft documentation drive the grade. Look for tutors with film studies or media production backgrounds and explicit Eduqas spec familiarity; the textual analysis vocabulary is specific.
The Extended Project Qualification is a Level 3 standalone qualification taken alongside A-levels (typically in Year 12 or Year 13) and is worth half an A-level (up to 28 UCAS points at A*). Students choose their own topic and produce either a 5,000-word dissertation, or an artefact / performance accompanied by a 1,000-word report, plus a production log and a viva-style presentation. AQA's spec (7993) is the largest by a wide margin (~40,000 entries/year in England); Pearson Edexcel (Dissertation P301, Investigation P302, Performance P303, Artefact P304), OCR (H856) and WJEC / Eduqas also offer it. Tutoring on EPQ is closer to academic-research mentoring than subject teaching: research-question scoping, source evaluation and citation discipline, dissertation structure, statistical analysis where relevant, and viva preparation. Look for tutors with degree-level research experience in the project's topic area; subject-specialist A-level tutors don't always cover the dissertation craft well.
