LIT 130 CM - Language of Film

We will begin with a close analysis of a contemporary popular film, in an effort to determine typical conventions of cinematic expression, and then proceed through a study of multiple movements and genres in the history of film, from German Expressionism to the French New Wave, from Hollywood to documentary to avant-garde and independent film-making. Overall, the course is intended to provide students with a broad introduction to film analysis and to the field of Film Studies.
