    Description
    By the age of 18 the average person has watched over 900 movies, but do we really know how to watch them? This course explores the impact film has on us, and the techniques filmmakers use to make us respond. Drawing from the American Film Institute's "Top 100 Movies of All Time" plus others, the class goes beyond movies as entertainment, into the fascinating world of how movies use color, music, story structure, visual effects and cinematography to make us forget we're even watching a movie.
