Description:

In “THE ART OF THE FILM” we will examine the dramatic and psychological effects of the techniques used in filmmaking, and some of the central developments in film’s artistic and technological history. The course will be broken down into a series of sections, each based upon a given formal technique (script, character and narrative, camerawork, lighting, mise-en-scene, editing, sound, etc.) or important concepts in film theory (montage, realism, documentary, representation, gender, etc.). The final week is devoted to the close study of one important Classical Hollywood genre, film noir, and its translation into different international cultures (French, German, Chinese etc.).
