Description:

This course teaches the basic concepts and critical approaches involved in interpreting film. Some of the approaches include humanism, auteurism, genre, social science, historicism, semiology, structuralism, Marxism, and feminism. Integrating these critical approaches with the language systems of film, students will increase their own appreciation of motion pictures, intelligently discuss these texts with others, better understand what filmmakers are saying as well as how they are saying it, and analyze how film texts both influence and reflect the culture in which they are made.
