Lisans



This course, intended as a general introduction and has two basic goals. First, it will develop skills in film analysis. Students will become fluent in the vocabulary of film form and learn to construct an argument about what a film's sounds and images mean and how it structures and achieves its meanings. Second, it will provide an introduction to the theories, methods, and concerns of film and media studies as a discipline, preparing for further work in the field. The course will emphasize specific aspects of film style and narrative form through analysis of scenes from the films screened each week and from a range of outside examples. Each week will introduce historical, cultural and theoretical topics relevant to the films shown while focusing on the films' self-reflexivity of their medium, and considering the politics of image-making from the postwar period to today.



1 Students will be familiar with main ideas, concepts, and concerns of media and cinema
2 They will be able to discuss theories, raise questions about them, and contextualize them within larger historical, social and cultural contexts.
3 They will learn how to analyze media and cinema in conversation as well as in connection to a variety of fictional texts
4 Students will be able to synthesize the ideas from the course and present their own analytical arguments in writing.

The invention of cinema at the end of the 19th century and the rapid developments of digital technologies most noticeable in our increased use of social networking tools on mini-screens mark a period in which communications technology shaped and shape our world and moving images evolved from the photographic to the digital. This course explores the specificity, history, and function of media forms, focusing on the language of cinema and the critical repertoire of film/media theories.
