- Class Description:
- This course provides an introduction to the fundamentals of film analysis and media study. Readings and lectures cover the technical, economic, social, and cultural aspects of film, from how the film industry and studios work to how films are marketed in the mass media and exhibited. Primary emphasis is on feature-length narrative fiction films, but attention is also paid to documentaries, animation, avant-garde and experimental film and video, television (news, sit-coms, soaps, sports, etc.), and New Media. The lectures and discussions will consider the relationship between the media and other areas of culture (politics, the music business, the mall world) and between film studies and other areas of knowledge (social history, literary study, art history, etc.). The history of film and media studies as a discipline is also considered. The course uses detailed analysis of a series of films, including Murnau's "Nosferatu," John Ford's "Stagecoach," Michael Curtiz's "Casablanca," Jean-Luc Godard's "Breathless," Ridley Scott's "Blade Runner," Spike Lee's "Do the Right Thing," and David Russell's "Three Kings," to develop an understanding of the basic concepts of film analysis and the basic elements of film production and distribution. These films also provide an ideal arena for exploring questions about the cinematic representation of ethnicity and race, gender roles, and the relationship between Hollywood and foreign film industries.

Primary emphasis is on feature-length narrative fiction films, but attention is also paid to documentaries, animation, avant-garde and experimental film and video, television (news, sit-coms, soaps, sports, etc.), and New Media. The lectures and discussions will consider the relationship between the media and other areas of culture (politics, the music business, the mall world) and between film studies and other areas of knowledge (social history, literary study, art history, etc.). The history of film and media studies as a discipline is also considered. The course uses detailed analysis of a series of films, including Murnau's "Nosferatu," John Ford's "Stagecoach," Michael Curtiz's "Casablanca," Jean-Luc Godard's "Breathless," Ridley Scott's "Blade Runner," Spike Lee's "Do the Right Thing," and David Russell's "Three Kings," to develop an understanding of the basic concepts of film analysis and the basic elements of film production and distribution. These films also provide an ideal arena for exploring questions about the cinematic representation of ethnicity and race, gender roles, and the relationship between Hollywood and foreign film industries.

The lectures and discussions will consider the relationship between the media and other areas of culture (politics, the music business, the mall world) and between film studies and other areas of knowledge (social history, literary study, art history, etc.). The history of film and media studies as a discipline is also considered. The course uses detailed analysis of a series of films, including Murnau's "Nosferatu," John Ford's "Stagecoach," Michael Curtiz's "Casablanca," Jean-Luc Godard's "Breathless," Ridley Scott's "Blade Runner," Spike Lee's "Do the Right Thing," and David Russell's "Three Kings," to develop an understanding of the basic concepts of film analysis and the basic elements of film production and distribution. These films also provide an ideal arena for exploring questions about the cinematic representation of ethnicity and race, gender roles, and the relationship between Hollywood and foreign film industries.

- Course Catalog Description:
- Fundamentals of film analysis and an introduction to the major theories of the cinema, presented through detailed interpretations of representative films from the international history of the cinema.
- Class Description:
- This course provides an introduction to the fundamentals of film analysis and media study. Readings and lectures cover the technical, economic, social, and cultural aspects of film, from how the film industry and studios work to how films are marketed in the mass media and exhibited. Primary emphasis is on feature-length narrative fiction films, but attention is also paid to documentaries, animation, avant-garde and experimental film and video, television (news, sit-coms, soaps, sports, MTV, etc.), and New Media. The lectures and discussions will consider the relationship between the media and other areas of culture (politics, the music business, the mall world) and between film studies and other areas of knowledge (social history, literary study, art history, etc.). The history of film and media studies as a discipline is also considered. The course uses detailed analysis of a series of films, including Murnau's "Nosferatu," John Ford's "Stagecoach," Michael Curtiz's "Casablanca," Jean-Luc Godard's "Breathless," Ridley Scott's "Blade Runner," Spike Lee's "Do the Right Thing," and David Russell's "Three Kings," to develop an understanding of the basic concepts of film analysis and the basic elements of film production and distribution. These films also provide an ideal arena for exploring questions about the cinematic representation of ethnicity and race, gender roles, and the relationship between Hollywood and foreign film industries.
