CMST 120:<\/strong> Film History 5 cr<\/abbr>.<\/span><\/h3>

This course examines the film as one of the most influential media within a changing cultural, political, and industrial context since the historical origin from 1880. Course discussion focuses on the aesthetic, type and technological developments of filmmaking, and how those developments provide possibilities for artistic expression, propaganda, entertainment, as well as representations of culture and identities.\u00a0Special attention is given to influential movements both within the US and around the world to show how the film can be a national, international, and global medium across different historical periods, as well as how current digital and virtual reality technology may further enhance film as an art form and a vehicle for stories. Recommended: ENGL& 101 and completion of any CMST Theory course.<\/p>
