Film Studies
What makes a movie "good" or "bad"? To what extent is it important to study film? And what in the world is Bollywood?! We will explore all of these questions and more during the next few weeks in our film studies unit.
The focus of our study will be on film history, technique, and appreciation. To that end, you will engage in the following tasks:
1) You will research and report on a film legend (e.g. Judy Garland).
2) You will research and report on a film term and its application (e.g. high-angle shot).
3) You will watch a classic film and write a movie review on it.
