- You can get a headstart on some reading, or just take a look at the module topics you'll cover. You can find information on each module on your course page, click on the module and the reading list will be at the end of the page.

Start to explore different content:
- Check out some video essays on youtube - there are loads out there, and while some are better (and more accurate) than others, we recommend Studio Binder, Every Frame a Painting, Cinefix, Must See Films, and Rob Agar.
- Watch a lot of films! Explore films made by a range of directors (everyone from Sofia Coppola to Akira Kurosawa, Fritz Lang to Great Gerwig), and explore genres and international cinema that you don’t normally gravitate towards.
- Watch TV, not just Netflix. Look at some of the live and as live broadcast content as well such as light entertainment and the big Saturday night ‘Shiny floor’ shows, game shows, soaps etc.
