This course offers an introduction to the practice of formal film analysis. It will explore a different element of film form each week and study the ways in which it shapes the moving image. This course will also introduce the key critical and theoretical frameworks that have shaped the discipline and our understanding of cinema. Rather than offering a survey of film history or a small collection of classics, this course invites students to think about formal elements within and across a wide range of genres, styles, historical moments, and national contexts.
