    Description
    This course offers an advanced introduction to the narrative, thematic, aesthetic, and philosophical aspects of cinema. Students will examine a wide variety of films focusing on storytelling, staging, cinematography, acting, editing, sound, and film theory. Emphasis will be placed on the artistic quality of film and the development of technical methods used by filmmakers to present their ideas. As an honors course, students will encounter more demanding film texts (including avant garde and experimental films) and readings in the areas of criticism and theory. Enriched assignments will require a higher level of engagement expressed in written and oral forms. Credit may be earned in either FILM 71 or 71H, but not both.
