Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
The ability to analyse film and a critical understanding of film are both integral parts of literacy. This course will help you understand the complex and dense language of moving image texts, which we have all learned to “read” while not being necessarily aware of this skill. We will explore the basic codes of film with the aim of unpacking the layers of meaning encoded in conventions. You should come to understand how everything in a film is saying something, while at the same time contributing to the film’s overall meaning. We will explore the visual language of frames, dismantle the editing process and learn about the importance of sound. The overall aim of this class will be to denaturalise what seems natural and make the invisible visible.
