ENG 260 - The Art of Film

Semester Hours: 3
Film is arguably the most powerful artistic medium of the last century, both as a vehicle for personal expression and a source of cultural impact. This class instructs students how to appreciate and understand this influential art form, introducing them to the language of film making and film analysis. We explore the elements of film as an art form - from motion and sound to editing and narrative structure - and survey how these tools of visual storytelling have developed across the years or through different genres and traditions.
