Film & Media Studies

“From flights of fancy to turmoil and terror, films can capture a mood, tell a story or convey a message.”

Where better to learn about films than Hollywood baby! Your students will enjoy a trip of a lifetime, touring the Hollywood Studios and the back lot tours at Sony, Warner Bros, Paramount and Universal Studios. Not our cheapest option but well worth every penny.

Too much then stick closer to home and investigate the Harry Potter films that have turned Warner Bros Studios near Watford into a pilgrimage site for fans. The walking tour takes visitors up close to the sets, costumes and props used in the films. You can step inside Dumbledore’s office and wander down Diagon Alley, as well as taking a look at well-known magical items such as Harry’s Nimbus 2000 and Hagrid’s motorcycle. You’ll also learn about the technical side of creating one of the most successful film series of all time, with insight into the special effects and animatronics.

If everything from pyrotechnics to set design is more your thing, then every aspect of film production is presented at Filmpark, Babelsberg in Germany this working studio just outside Berlin. Visitors can see a wide range of sets, from oriental gardens to a medieval town – used each year for Halloween horror nights. Still, the highlight for most visits will be the epic stunt shows that take place in a 2,500-capacity arena, featuring all the explosions, motorbike jumps and fist fights blockbuster action-flick dreams are made of.
