| CINE 265 - Film History 1-The Silent Era to Early Sound |
|
This is the first course in a three-part survey of film history (aesthetic, economic, technological, and cultural). This course explores the evolution of film language from the silent era to WWII, and the various cinematic and artistic movements, as well as the economic context that led to the development of the US Studio System and Classical Hollywood Style. Students will be introduced to the basic elements of film language and tasked with using this vocabulary to analyze cinematic texts. The primary goals of the survey are twofold: to help students recognize and identify particular historical approaches to understanding film; to help students develop a sufficient cinematic vocabulary to identify and analyze cinematic style in and across film texts and within and between film movements. Weekly campus screenings are required, and clips of films are used in class for close analysis and are an integral part of the course.
