CM 420A - Rhetoric of Film

Institution:

Juniata College

Subject:

Description:

(Variable; Variable; 3.00 Credits; H,CW) In this course we will explore one visual medium: film. The core of concern is with film as symbolic form, which is potentially communicative. A rhetorical perspective insists on the presence of an audience which is not necessarily of interest in all types of film criticism but will be crucial in our discussions. We will try to relate theories, methods of production, and criticism to our work but it will not be limited to them. This course is an opportunity for students to explore what films mean to them and why it is such an important cultural phenomenon. Prerequisites: CM132 or CM 133.
