Splash Biography

We all know there are good movies out there. But what makes a good movie? Sometimes we get lucky; we see a movie that draws us in. There is something about it that makes us think: perhaps we shared something in common with a character, or recognized a theme from our own life. Good film makes us think like that, and in Introduction to Film, we will discuss the elements that make this possible. In each class we will discuss a particular movie, focusing on elements in that movie that make it outstanding. The class will be discussion-based, to allow students to construct their own interpretation and analysis of the films.
