F/TV 1H

About this course

This is an introduction to the close analysis of film and television texts. The course will examine broad questions of form and content, aesthetics and meaning, and history and culture. Covering a wide variety of media, filmmakers, and film movements, the course will explore the diverse possibilities presented by the cinematic art form. Topics include modes of production, narrative and non-narrative forms, visual design, editing, sound, genre, ideology, and critical analysis. Because this is an honors course, students will be expected to complete extra assignments to gain deeper insight into the discipline of cinematic arts.

No section is scheduled at De Anza College for Fall 2026. The course can still be offered in a later quarter.
