Specification (Aesthetics)

Although it is not always emphasised, film is an art form. The study of a film's aesthetic qualities, therefore, involves considering how all aspects of film form are combined artistically. In exploring the aesthetic qualities of film, learners may consider, for example, individual shots, their composition and mise-en-scène in general. In some cases, these elements are used throughout a film and create a distinctive 'look' or style. Whether aesthetic effects are momentary or whether there is a distinct aesthetic look to a whole film, learners will be considering where the 'spectacle' of film engages spectators more than a film's narrative.

Learners will need to develop knowledge and understanding of:

The aesthetic qualities of film.

Their significance.

How filmmakers create aesthetic effects through specific film sequences. </aside>

Guidelines

Use the number of marks to guide the length of your response:
- 1 or 2 marks — write a sentence or two.
- 3 or 4 or 5 marks — write at least two paragraphs.
- 15 marks — write multiple paragraphs.
Read all the questions before you begin — making a poor decision on the first question could affect your ability to answer later questions.
Ensure you make enough points to justify the marks on offer.
If asked to "identify" a key element you must make specific reference to a described example from Submarine.
Read the questions carefully — check whether you are being asked to generalise or write specifically about the film you have studied. </aside>
