Course Description
This is a writing intensive course designed to introduce students to
the different ways one can think and write about film and television.
This course will try to uncover the students’ “normal” way of seeing and
thinking about visual media and introduce new ways of looking at these
media. To that end, we will view movies and TV shows from a variety
of genres, as well as learn the different ways in which film and television
can be written about and discussed, from the “simple” movie review to more
complex formal and cultural analyses.
