Analysing Film (E) (P3082)
15 credits, Level 5
Autumn teaching
Look. Look again. What do you see?
This module equips you with the key skills in examining film texts in close detail and thinking about how they create meanings. You’ll analyse the creative choices available to film-makers as well as the potential they have for generating meaning and pleasure when combined together.
You’ll explore the diverse ways in which film-makers use key techniques of cinematic expression such as:
- narrative
- cinematography
- mise-en-scène
- editing
- sound
- tone
The module includes many examples of contemporary cinema, such as Get Out (Peele, 2017), Carol (Haynes, 2015) and Sicario (Villeneuve, 2015).
