Description: This half credit semester-course focuses on four objectives: to familiarize students with film genres, terminology, and techniques; to analyze film through literary modes; to sharpen critical analysis of all aspects of film; and to instill an appreciation of film as a cultural medium and an art form, not just entertainment. Students will examine works presented in two different media to gain insight and understanding into the workings of those media, including their biases and their strengths.
