COM 1150 - Introduction to Cinema Studies GE
3 cr
Why are movies made? Who gets to make them? How do they make their way to us? Why does it matter? In this course, we will explore contemporary cinema’s capacity to entertain, express, inform, and shape ideology. Particular attention will be paid to a film as a complex system of stylistic choices (including mise-en-scene, cinematography, editing, and sound) that shape the viewer’s engagement with the narrative. The course is meant to help students develop a more sophisticated understanding of the medium as well as equip them with the tools to understand and analyze the artistic and technical decisions made during the construction of a film.
