Description:

Introduction to filmmakers such as Griffith, Hitchcock, Huston, Kubrick, Kurosawa, Truffaut, and Wells. The work of such masters has served to define particular genres that include historical, epic, western, detective, gangster, science fiction, and horror. Students deconstruct cinematography, lighting, editing, directing, and other elements of filmmaking in relation to various genres; in so doing they gain an understanding of the cannon of film, of the themes and aesthetics in film, and of the ways in which culture adopts value and morals, from film.
