3.00 Credits
This course is a study of major theoretical issues relating to film and the cinematic experience. We will focus our study on four central issues in film theory. 1) The relationship between the camera, the object filmed, and the object projected on the screen. What is it we see when we watch a film? To what extent is film realistic or expressionistic? 2) The voyeuristic character of the cinema. What has Freudian psychoanalysis contributed to the knowledge of the cinema? 3) The boundaries of time and space created by the film's image. Where does the film event occur? What is the context for the film event? 4) The film industry's relation to social conditions in America, through the depiction of men, women, minorities, and economic classes in the United States and around the world. How also does the economics of Hollywood affect the American aesthetic? Prerequisite: RPHS 2101 or permission of the instructor
