• Through a thorough study of the history of modern cinema and current cinematic conventions and techniques, students will gain an appreciation and ability to “read” a film beyond its standard on-screen meaning for deeper understanding behind the goals and motivations of the film’s director, producer, and producing studio. Using this knowledge, students will create their own critique of a film in which they identify the cinematic conventions used in the film to discern the message or goal of the director that lies beneath the visual surface of the film.
• Students will further apply these skills to television programs and commercials to understand how different programs and products broadcast themselves and for what purposes they choose to do so.
