This course will attempt to bridge the gap between visual narratives and textual narratives by choosing a theme and demonstrating how each kind of narrative presents a point of view, deals with a creator's vision and with the limitations inherent to its form in its attempt to "tell a story." This class, while retaining its format at all times, will vary its themes. With each new "theme," new textual and visual narratives will be offered. In order to acquaint students with the idea of film as the product of a point of view of an author, the course would devote the first third of the semester to studying the conventions of film, with particular attention to audience expectations and the narratology of film. The remainder of the class will be devoted to elaborating on the themes chosen for each particular semester, both as they are presented in film and in literature. In English.
