The course is an introduction to the basic concepts of film and video studies. The course defines and surveys the following areas: academic criticism, theory, and history, and journalistic criticism. It discusses their respective traditions and the distinctions among them. All of this is done within a context of the cultural factors of the writings. Students will read basic texts and write papers that demonstrate their understanding of them. Lectures will introduce each topic and films will sometimes accompany the units.
Course descriptions are stored in OASIS and are maintained by the Associate Dean for each School.
