Course contents :
|
| This course, which is compulsory for all 2d year students, is a continuation of the 1st year History of cinema course. In the same basic spirit we will approach cinema not as a historical object but as a language, i.e. as a (complex) system to convey meaning through the specific means of image and sound. It will examine the problems raised by shots, frames, depth of field, off camera, sequences, retakes, construction of space, organisation of time, cutting, narrating, perspective, identifying viewers, voices, music, noises, etc.
These various notions will emerge from detailed analyses of film extracts.
At the end of the year professionnals will introduce some occupational areas in the field of cinema. |
|
Learning outcomes of the course :
|
| Using film analysis and theoretical tools the course aims at introducing students to what a film actually is, as a technical, aesthetic and ideological object. The pleasure they experience viewing a film can turn into the pleasure of understanding - including the various professional outlets in the field of cinema. |
