The Art of Film
Overview
Description
This course surveys the principles of film form and explores the varied ways in which film conveys meaning. Through screenings of feature films, documentaries, and short films -- narrative and non-narrative, live action and animated -- students examine the contributions of staging, cinematography, edition, and sound and consider such topics as the intervention of the filmmaker in documentary films and the impact of the computer on contemporary film. Using models of film criticism from a broad range of international sources, students develop their ability to describe and analyze films effectively.
