FLME 207 - Introduction to Film Studies (4)

This course provides an introduction to the art of cinema and to the academic discipline of film studies. Our primary concern will be to understand cinema as a major modern artistic medium, one that is primarily narrative in orientation. This course will introduce students to the principles of film language and film form, including mise-en-scène, cinematography, editing, acting, and sound, as well as to the practice of engaging films critically.
