Film History: Selected Topics<br />
(Concentration course for students in Creative Arts –<br />
Film/Video/Communications only)<br />
This course is an introductory survey of developments in<br />
cinema from its invention to the present. Using works<br />
from the silent era through the present, including fiction,<br />
documentary and propaganda films, this course explores<br />
how filmmakers have observed and commented upon<br />
social issues, and how films reflect the times in which<br />
they were made. The intent of this course is to introduce<br />
the student to the development of forms and techniques<br />
of film-making while examining how the historical,<br />
political and cultural contexts of films relate to style,<br />
content and aesthetics.<br />

inventory, review, evaluate and edit their own work,<br />

Digital Filmmaking IV<br />
(Concentration course for students in Creative Arts -<br />
Film/Video/Communications only)<br />
Students work to develop individual responsibility and<br />
creativity in two completely different settings. In one<br />
project, students work on one specific task, within a<br />
team, in a simulated environment of a professional<br />
film/video production company. In another, students<br />
work alone to write/adapt, produce, direct, shoot and<br />
edit their independent project. Students also take part in<br />
several writing exercises. All film/video projects are<br />
supported with digital cameras and non-linear digital<br />
editing equipment.<br />
