Course Description

From the CTY Ireland Catalog:

This course is designed to introduce students to the language of cinema. It explores a wide range of subjects including how filmscripts work, the uses of cinematography, editing and special effects, what a national cinema is, the history of the motionpicture, the development of different genres of film, how audiences make meaning from films, and more. The course is designed to give students a theoretical grounding in the issues that make film such an important part of our cultural lives, and to help them to develop a greater critical awareness of how the cinema speaks to us. Please note: this is a theoretical, not practical, film studies course.
