WKS 332A - Visual Culture and Film Analysis

Institution:

Antioch University-Midwest (Closed)

Subject:

Description:

In this Workshop Visual Culture, a new interdisciplinary field will be introduced and analysis techniques will be emphasized in the decoding of photographic and film images to understand how they convey form, shape, content, and meaning. Film images and forms are carefully constructed in films through the collaboration of directors, cinematographers, set designers, custom designers, location specialists, and others. From Charlie Chaplin, Alfred Hitchcock, and Orson Welles, to contemporary filmmakers, visual culture is a part of film and the viewer's perception of moving images. The film frame and how it shapes the image and the images content will be a primary focus. Scenes from films will be shown and one film will be analyzed.
