Welcome to Film Studies!

This course will help develop a greater aesthetic appreciation for film as an art form and as a reflection of society. Film Studies will provide students with an overview of the history, theory, and techniques involved in the art of film making. Students will study the components and history of film, analyze narrative structure, and discuss cultural issues found in a variety of films. Additionally, it is a course in reading and writing about film. Students will learn how to write a screenplay, explore film genre, and participate in various activities which will culminate in their own film script project. Successful films may be given a public screening some time in June of this year, equipment and student willing.
