- Class Description:
From the era of the nickelodeon to the age of Netflix, cinema has been one of the world's most important media forms. Far more than simply entertainment, films have long functioned as a mode of instruction or persuasion, a tool for the expression of identities and political beliefs, and a medium for formal experimentation. At the same time, cinema is an institution, comprising industries and sites of production, means of distribution, and spaces and modes of reception.
CSCL/SCMC 1201W, Cinema, will introduce students to the analysis of these formal, institutional, and social dimensions. We will explore cinema's historical development and explore major theories of film via key moments in its international history: from early cinema to classical Hollywood, Soviet montage to the film-festival circuit. Students will learn how to read a film, analyzing basic elements such as cinematography, sound, and editing, and developing a vocabulary for the formal analysis of a range of modes and genres - from film noir to the documentary, experimental film, and the musical.
