Section Info: The goal of this course is to develop students? abilities to view films critically and to deepen their understanding of the cinema experience. The course first teaches analysis of narrative strategies, shot properties, mise-en-scene, acting, editing, and the use of sound in films, especially classical Hollywood movies.
