Introducción a los estudios cinematográficos: cinco elementos del cine
Experiencia de clase
This 5-week class is designed to prepare students to gain a better understanding of formal terms used in the world of film studies. Many of these terms also transfer to film making. There is no prerequisite, other than a positive attitude and a curiosity towards film! Each class will cover a new major category. In each class, we will look at slides with photos that exemplify the given term. We will also watch the occasional film clip in order to demonstrate an example of a term. All clips...
- Students will learn the basic terminology related to the fields of Cinematography - This category of film studies and production looks at how the camera moves relative to the subject. It also examines the importance of different lenses and other relevant equipment. Sound - Perhaps the most overlooked aspect of film analysis is sound. We will look at how sound works both within and outside of the film's universe, how it conveys meaning in its unique way, and how it is edited just as meticulously as video. Mise-en-scene - This is everything one sees in the frame. It includes lighting, props, wardrobe, makeup, practical effects, actors, and sets. Editing - Learners should be able to describe how the the film speaks to the audience through the way it changes from one shot or one sequence to the next. Editing is the act of "putting it all together". Learners must have a grasp of the other categories in order to properly discuss editing. Narrative - This category has a lot of overlap from English literature. Learners will have already encountered most of the terms here, but it is often very helpful to review them and gain a more nuanced understanding of them through film. On a more general level, learners should leave this class with the confidence to throw the vocabulary they have learned into their discussions and pieces of writing related to film and other media. They should gain a more nuanced eye for the details that filmmakers implement for symbolism, mood, and atmosphere in their films. We will not be able to cover each and every single term that has ever been written in a film textbook, or that has ever been spoken on a film set, but learners will leave this class feeling more than prepared to discuss films for any screenings they encounter in English and Media classes. Many schools also offer film studies classes as electives, and this class will set them up perfectly for that.
I recently completed my Bachelor of Art's in Film Studies at the University of Calgary. Here, I had a chance to study under some of the most reputable Canadian film scholars, and learn about a plethora of different film topics. I also have had a chance to work on film sets and even curate selections for film festivals. Analyzing, critiquing, and researching films is a passion of mine. I'm excited to use this class to combine that passion with my love of teaching. Film is one of the most amazing and versatile art forms we have, and I can't wait to introduce its complexities to new learners.
Evaluación
Frecuencia: incluidoDetalles: There is no formal assessment in this class. We will do a Kahoot quiz every class for fun, and end the section with a large Kahoot that reviews every major category
There are no mandatory supplies, but I recommend that learners take notes using a physical or digital notepad.
All clips shown are for educational purposes. Some concepts are best exemplified in clips that happen to come from PG-13 films. For instance, "crosscutting" is a concept that is best seen through the films of Christopher Nolan. Also, some clips will be shown from films that were released before the standard rating system had been updated to its current version. However, in any of these cases, I have been careful to curate the clips so that no mature content is present. All clips will be shown such that the viewers will know any other context of the given film. I am NOT recommending that my students watch any film that is rated outside of their age range.
