    Description
    (Same as PHOTO 501.) The student learns the analysis of film and modern visual media, including the cinema, television, the Internet, advertising, social networking, and fine art. The student learns to examine the broad questions of form and content, aesthetics and meaning, and history and culture, exploring the diverse possibilities presented by the cinematic art form through an examination of a wide variety of productions, national cinemas, and film movements. Topics include modes of production, narrative and non-narrative forms, visual design, editing, sound, genre, ideology, and critical analysis. This course is recommended for all cinema and photography majors, and is open to graphic artists as well as the general public.
