ENGL 450 - Film Theory

Institution:

Indiana University of Pennsylvania-Main Campus

Subject:

English

Description:

An introduction to major film theories, studied in relation to representative films. Details the complex relationship between film production and film theory, i.e., how theorists have attempted to explain what appears on the screen, its impact, and its relation to reality, and how filmmakers have responded to the works of theorists (with the two sometimes being the same). Goes far deeper into understanding film than ENGL 208, which focuses mainly on how film is constructed through aesthetic and institutional processes.
