Course Description
HUMA126M - Introduction to Film This course provides a historical overview of film from its inception to the present day. In addition to exploring textual elements such as narrative, characterization, plot, and symbolism, film’s technical elements (mise-en-scène, cinematography, lighting, editing, and sound) will be considered as well. Emphasis is on film as both cultural artifact and institution. Major films, developments, genres, directors and movements will be studied; the technical vocabulary needed to interpret, analyze, and appreciate film will be developed.
