Learning outcomes
|
This course is a survey of quality modern films in English. Through an examination of various cinematic forms, styles, and genres, following a historical chronology, the course aims to develop the critical skills crucial to the discourse of film studies. Such a critical evaluation of cinema demands an interdisciplinary approach, drawing from such disparate sources as: aesthetics, art history, cultural studies, and literary studies. In addition to developing an understanding of the critical tools available to us, the course is designed to provide a wide survey of English and American film.
Students will critically interpret classic films from the USA and UK viewed in and out of class while learning the history of film in the English speaking countries.
