ENGL 291 - Introduction to Advanced Study of Cinema


Semester Offered: First Semester, Second Semester
Full Course
Credits: 4 credits

This course focuses on ways to engage critically with cinema. We examine elements of film form, style, and technique and explore how these produce meaning. Through theoretical and critical readings we consider cinema as art, industry, technology, and politics. We also study approaches to watching and assessing movies, concepts and contexts in cinema studies as a discipline, and film in relation to other media. We also pay special attention to writing about cinema.
