ENG 209 - Topic/ Lit: Literature And Film

Institution:

Southern Maine Community College

Subject:

Description:

Throughout time humans have had a need to tell a story. These stories have had some common goals: to reflect current culture, to inform the future, to examine the past, and to make sense of existence. Film and Literature are two modern forms of media that try to achieve these same goals. This course covers the techniques, vocabulary, and art of film and literature. It also explores the connections between both media. In this course students will learn how to "read" a film. They will examine the options and choices filmmakers have to tell their stories. They will identify those choices and link them to the thematic ideas the story holds. Finally, students will critically read the literature from which the films are based. Prerequisite(s): ENG 111. Corequisite(s): ENG 115.
