Transfers ToUC and CSUCal-GETC Area 3BDescription(UC:CSU) 3 UNITS Prerequisite: ENGLISH 240 | Lecture: 3 hours This second course of Literature and the Motion Picture focuses on an in-depth study of three filmmakers (domestic and foreign) who have adapted literary texts to the screen or whose original screenplays are considered `literary'. The liter- ary conventions of narrative, point of view, character develop- ment, symbolism, and theme studied in the previous course are applied to a filmmaker's auteur approach to mise en scene (the framing of a shot), photography, editing, and sound. By studying the auteur theory of filmmaking, students critically compare and contrast the personal visions, styles, thematic obsessions, and ideologies of three noted filmmakers who influence their films so much that they rank as their authors, or auteurs.
