COURSE DESCRIPTION: The purpose of this course is to offer an exhaustive, even if very selective, overview of cinema history, and explores the basic tools for analyzing the art of film. Throughout the course we will learn how to develop a historical appreciation of film based on a survey of cinematic traditions contained within narrative, documentary, and experimental forms, and acquire a critical, technical, and aesthetic vocabulary relating to particular cinematic practices and structures. We will examine how meaning in films is conditioned by the uses of camera, editing, lighting, sound and acting, explore the impact of technological developments on film production, and evaluate the importance of genre and the legacy of individual “auteurs” throughout the history of cinema.
