Students in this course will explore film as an expressive form by analyzing it through the literary and dramatic gaze. Toward the end of the course we will include some analysis of cinematic elements (film technique) in preparation for the advanced level course. Expectations for passing the class include excellent attendance, active and respectful viewing of videos and movie clips in class, full participation in discussions and projects, and preparation of written responses to the films.
Note: Some writing, review analysis, and video viewing outside of class time will be required. There are strict deadlines for work completion in this course.
This course is a pre-req. for the advanced level to be offered next quarter.
