Course Description
This course follows Frame By Frame 1 and is designed to give students an appreciation for and critical understanding of the language and grammar of moving-images as it applies to student filmmakers. Through a range of examples, students will be introduced to a variety of terms, concepts and ideas in order to build a framework within which they may develop their own personal visions as makers of moving images. This is a course that exposes students to film history, film esthetics and film analysis in order to enhance their abilities as film and video makers. This semester swill be divided into four modules focusing on four areas of filmmaking: documentary, Canadian filmmakers, short films and experimental. Students will look at many of the elements of filmmaking such as theme, story, cinematography, sound design and montage to isolate the power of each and how they can learn from others in order to articulate their ideas and strengthen their own work.
