- The class is designed to show students how film is a form of literature. By viewing classic and modern American films, students will learn that good film, like good literature, has certain elements in common.
- Students will be expected to understand motifs, symbols, metaphors, allusions, plot, theme, and other literary elements as they relate to both film and literature. In addition, students will develop an appreciation for the interaction of film elements such as scripting, directing, acting, producing, lighting, sound, music, editing, cinematography, special effects, set design and costuming. Students will learn to recognize such film genres as drama, comedy, western, science-fiction, mystery, action/adventure, and animation.
- Students will use their knowledge of the various elements of cinema to analyze and critique films studied in class. Assessment will include class discussions, type-written film reviews, oral film critique, and participation.
