Students will focus on how films tell stories that engage viewers in unique ways. The course will touch on the development of film genres and will consider literature-to-film adaptations. Also, students will consider elements common to film and literature, such as character presentation, narrative tension and structure, diction, and point of view. Many films from the DVC collection, including some showing the lives and stories of members of American subcultures and cultures around the world, along with new releases from major film distributors, will be viewed, discussed, and written about.
