ENGL 3290 - Introduction to Film

Institution:

Austin Peay State University

Subject:

English

Description:

In "Introduction to Film," the techniques and aesthetics of cinema are studied through the presentation of feature and short film. Students read selections in the text, peruse course information and contact related web sites. In addition, students independently view films illustrating certain techniques and aesthetics that are to be chosen from a selected list for that purpose. As there is no central viewing area, students are expected to locate films on their own (video stores, public libraries, university media centers, various online rental or purchase sites) and view them. The list of films ranges from classic examples of the technique or aesthetic under consideration to more modern variations or modifications of it, and is designed to aid students who may not have access to classic films.
