Unit Description

This unit introduces the study of the aesthetics of film and cineliteracy through the examination of the formal elements by which any film text is constructed and through which it expresses its meaning - the language of film. This micro-view of film analysis leads to approaches which emphasise the complete film: narrative structures. The emphasis is upon the narrative fictional film, and examples are screened or recommended from across a range of periods, styles and genres. All students in Communication Studies are expected to be able to express themselves in writing in fluent and correct English.
