| | Intro to Film |
 | | Goals of the Course: FLM 2010 is designed to introduce students to the techniques and methods of sophisticated film criticism. |
 | | In addition, the course is designed to demonstrate the cinema's place among the major art forms, attesting to ways in which films of recognized significance inevitably incorporate aspects of the other arts--i.e., drama, performance (both acting and dance), narrative, painting, and music. |
 | | The primary methodology of the course is to break films down into their component features--i.e., narrative, mise-en-scène, cinematography, editing, and sound; to analyze the operation of each of these constituent parts in detail; and then to return each of the parts to the whole. |
