ENG 195 - Introduction to Film Studies
Prerequisite: A passing score (C-/P or better) in WR 95 or it's equilvalent, or placement into WR 115 (a score of 76RD and 76WR on the placement test). ENG 195 is the first course of a year-long sequence focusing on the history, art, and social contexts of film as an art form. A primary objective of the course is to enhance students' enjoyment and appreciation of film by developing their cinematic literacy. Students are introduced to the basic elements of film language, including cinematography, mise en scène, editing, and sound. While American films are emphasized, the sequence also focuses at times on international cinema, looking at all films in the context of time, culture, and ideological effects. Weekly campus screenings are required, and clips of films are used in class for close analysis of aural and visual elements. A variety of assignments and activities develop and test students "ways of seeing." ENG 195 focuses on the formal elements of the shot: cinematography, mise en scène, blocking, and movement.
