What this course is about . . . How is a film created?
The techniques and mechanics of film production: what directors, screenwriters, cinematographers, art designers, and sound designers do and how they create visual art.
How does film work formally and stylistically? How do films tell stories through images and sounds? What are films materials, forms, and techniques? How doe we identify, describe, analyze, and write about film
style? Thinking about ourselves as spectators.
How do we read films? Self-examination of what we do when we make sense of
visual and acoustic images.
