ENTRY #1
I chose the course THE LANGUAGE OF HOLLYWOOD: STORYTELLING, SOUND AND COLOR due to the great interest I am experiencing for the cinema. The teacher of this course is Scott Higgins, an Associate Professor of film studies at Wesleyan University, who received the Wesleyan University's "Binswanger Prize for Excellence in Teaching." The course is divided into three main themes: Introduction, Sound and Color. It is suposed to last five weeks. Through the introduction of the elements such as sound and color to the cinema I will be able to know how they could influence the directors' expression in certain genres and in specific times. Among the materials of study, a few movies and several readings are included.
Hello Lina,
ResponderEliminarSounds like an interesting course. Hope you find it interesting and valuable.
Remember that the blog´s entries from now on should account for a critical-reflective report of what you learnt as well as the experience itself.
The last activity will be a speech about the course
