| ARTH 3 | Film History and Appreciation | 3.00 Units | ||
| This course aims to immerse students in three key foundations of film: its history; its artistry; and its interpretation. For the history portion we cover the invention of film through the first widespread use of color (1878 to 1939). For the artistry portion we cover essential technical and formal elements of film-making. For the interpretation portion we cover the conventions and social functions of different film genres. These topics are presented through slide-illustrated lectures and screenings of films (and film clips) from many countries of origin, providing lessons in global approaches to the artform. ARTH 3 is especially appropriate for visual learners. | ||||
