4 credits This course is the second course of a year-long sequence focusing on the history, art, and social contexts of film as an art form. A primary objective of the course is to enhance students' enjoyment and appreciation of film by developing their cinematic literacy. Students are introduced to the basic elements of film language, including cinematography, mise-en-scene, editing, and sound. While American films are emphasized, the sequence also focuses at times on international cinema, looking at all films in the context of time, culture, and ideological effects. Weekly campus screenings are required, and clips of films are used in class for close analysis. A variety of assignments and activities develop and test student's "ways of seeing." ENG 196 reviews the elements of film style relating to the individual shot, but it emphasizes the formal means by which shots are built into the larger structures of scene, segment, and finished film: editing, sound, screenwriting, and narrative structure (e.g., editing styles-sequence shots, continuity editing, montage and editing techniques-and on the types and uses of sound in film: foley, dialogue, theme music, etc.). The course also looks at the larger social and historical contexts in which films emerge, considering the ways that films both reflect and affect a culture. Along these lines, we focus particularly on issues and ideologies relating to race, class, gender, sexuality and nation.
