A comprehensive honors-level survey of the theory and methodology of cinematic studies, this course familiarizes students with the key elements of cinema (narrative, cinematography, mise-en-scene, editing, sound) and examines some of the critical lenses through which films are analyzed (including Feminist theory and Freudian theory). Students learn to critically analyze films and effectively communicate ideas in writing. A twelve-page analytical research paper is required.
