Course Objectives:	The purpose of the course is to give students the tools to understand how narrative cinema works from an aesthetic perspective. In the course we watch films, and by analysing both the orginal scripts and the final product on the screen we attempt to answer these 2 questions: 1) what is the effect the director wants to create with the film; and 2) how does the director use the elements of cinema to create this effect? The “elements of cinema” specifically refer to: the narrative structure in the screenplay; the choice of actors, locations, lighting, camera positions, and lenses; the style of acting; the approach to the editing; use of music and sound; and how all of these elements tie into the larger issue of “point of view” in a cinematic sense.

Learning Outcomes

The students who have succeeded in this course;
1. Will be able to watch a scene and break it down into shots and camera positions.
2. Will be able to compare a script to the finished film and make evaluations on those differences.
3. Recognize that narrative filmmaking is about “creating an effect” vs. “telling a story”.
4. Will be able to analyze how to evaluate what effect a director wants to create in their film.
5. Will be able to evaluate what “point of view" means in narrative cinema, how it is created cinematically, and how to evaluate it in terms of narration and narrative sctructure.

Course Content

Every week we screen one feature length film. Also, the original script for 1 scene from the film is given to the students, along with a series of questions about that scene. The students have one week to write the answers to the questions. In the following week we watch the scene again and have a lecture where we answer the questions about that scene that were given the week before.
