Section Info:
You must enroll in a LAB section as well as a LCD section to complete enrollment. This discussion-oriented introductory film studies course aims to develop students' capacity for critical film viewing and deepened understanding of the cinema experience. We first study analysis of narrative strategies, shot properties, mise-en-scene, acting, editing, and the use of sound in films, especially classical Hollywood movies. We then focus on different genres and styles of films, including, e.g., film noir and musicals, as well as documentaries and alternative independent films. Small sections of 36 students meet in two 75-minute sessions per week, on T/Th or W/F, with a required weekly all-section screening lab on Monday afternoon or evening, which presents one film program (usually a feature film, sometimes with short films). Expect to write a couple of short essays (getting instructor help to improve your writing); to take a midterm and a final; and take some quizzes on the readings, films, and discussions; and not only to master material and skills spelled out her, but also to enjoy the opportunity to get to know your teacher and fellow students and regularly to engage in lively discussion of films together. Grants Gen Ed credit in Humanities and the Arts.
