COMP-LIT 499D Sect. 1 Credits: 6
CAPSTONE COURSE: Self Reflexive - Avant Garde Film
Eligibility: Junior and Senior Honor Students only
Description: This 6-credit Capstone Course fulfills the Commonwealth College culminating experience requirement. We apply ourselves to the problem of cinematic vision as both process and acquired skills. We learn to distinguish the ways in which Hollywood normative cinema has contructed a visual language which we accept, uncritically, as the look reality has from what we may see with the "naked" eye, and how it informs what we see (what we can see, what we look for) in the world. Recommended for students who have a keen interest in film. Students attend a large lecture and film screening (once a week), an intensive seminar-style section of 2-3 hours the next day, on Thursday a film-making component for 3 hours. There will be a take-home scene analysis, and an intensive final film project (20 minutes). Students investigate aspects of film-making (such as shot formation, camera movement, editing approaches) by collaboratively exploring a range of expressive possibilities on video. Working in groups of three or four, students start off the semester alternating roles of writer/director, camera person, editor, etc. in constructing brief scenes. No prior film experience necessary. This 6-credit course may qualify students for high Latin Honors, if they have fulfilled other specific requirements. See a Commonwealth College advisor for more information.
