Majors and minors
will achieve
mastery of the close textual analysis of moving image media, a crucial form of visual
literacy in the 21st century. They
will be able to demonstrate knowledge of the history of the film medium and major international film movements and creative figures, and will gain
familiarity with the conventions of narrative and genre in the cinema, as well
as with more experimental forms of filmmaking. Majors and minors will employ critical thinking and basic theoretical
concepts to achieve an understanding of the interrelationship of film with
shifting social, political, and cultural trends. They will also develop their critical writing skills, and
produce an extended analytical and/or research paper in a seminar setting in
the program's capstone course.
