Written and directed by Richard Ayoade, one of the faces of The IT Crowd, Submarine makes an effective case study of narrative and genre for A Level Media or Film Studies. Submarine utilises many of the conventions of the teen comedy-drama whilst establishing a distinctive directorial style and narrative structure. The study day will cover detailed aspects of film form and explore the influence of Ayoade’s background in television comedy (writing for series such as Garth Marenghi’s Darkplace), as well as considering it more widely as a British film in its institutional and cultural context.
Led by Rona Murray, Freelance Film Educator
Screening: Submarine 15
Dir Richard Ayoade / GB 2010 / 97 mins
Richard Ayoade’s directorial debut is a coming of age comedy following fifteen-year-old Oliver and his dysfunctional girlfriend as Oliver tries to save his parents marriage and get his own relationship off the ground.
