NMAC 4481 Film Analysis

This course introduces students to significant issues in the history, economics, analysis, and theory of film. Students will examine the ways in which the fundamental aspects of cinema, such as the shot, lighting, sound, camera movement and the narrative structure of film, combine to create meaning. By placing the historical and cultural development of film in context, students will come to understand not only what film had been up until now, but where film will go in the coming digital age.
