COMM 315 Film Analysis (4)

Prof. Balides, Prof. Ukadike. Introduction to film analysis designed to help students develop a visual literacy with regard to film and a critical understanding of how films produce meanings. Focus is on formal analysis of film including elements such as narrative, mise-en-scéne, editing, camera movement, and sound and on key critical and theoretical approaches such as neoformalism and psychoanalysis. Classical Hollywood cinema and avant-garde and independent film making traditions are studied in order to focus on the "politics of form." A required film journal helps students develop analytical and critical skills. Required course for the film studies minor.
