Cinematic Storytelling

Catalog description

A survey of film and media, in particular, the close analysis of graphic storytelling techniques in television, animation, shorts, and movies. Alternates between explanation of specific filmmaking techniques (such as continuity editing) and discussion of the ways in which media implicitly reflect and subtly influence cultural attitudes and values. Requires a research paper to be submitted for midterm evaluation, and a project component - or demonstration of the craft - for your Final Project.
