• So, in case you haven’t realised, there is a very long list of topics we could cover in Film Studies and Media Studies.
• I will be cover both topics but I need you to tell me what interests you.
• The genre essay (SAE1) will tend to be about film, but it doesn’t have to,
• The Seminar Paper (SAE2) will tend to be on a media issue, but it doesn’t have to,
• Try to work out what may be part of your future and study more of that.
