ENG 2860 - Introduction to Cinema Studies

Credits: 3 (2 + 2)

Prerequisite(s): ENG 1020 or permission of the instructor

Description: In this course students study cinema as culture and art form, both on-screen and in written critique. The emphasis is on learning the fundamentals of film language, including mise-en-scene, cinematography, editing, and sound, so that students can produce critical writing of their own. Films studied represent diverse perspectives, eras, styles, and nationalities; those films not from Anglophone cultures are screened with English subtitles.
