| Course Code | Course | Credits |
| FILM 100 | Picture Editing 1Picture Editing 1Course Code: FILM 100 Credits: 3 In this course students are introduced to both the esthetic process and the practical tools of picture editing for moving picture media. Through readings, discussion and screenings of selected models, students examine the historical development of cinematic conventions and editing language. At the same time, they also pursue a practical study of the mechanics of editing in a non-linear software environment, and the application of principles explored in their theoretical studies. | 3 |
| FILM 110 | Shooting for Video/Media 1Shooting for Video/Media 1Course Code: FILM 110 Credits: 3 In this introductory course, students study the art and craft of shooting video for the purposes of information gathering and visual storytelling. Working with HD camcorders, students practice the mechanics and esthetics of capturing moving images. Production assignments familiarize students with shooting in the digital realm and build technical skills. | 3 |
| FILM 130 | Film Studies - Part 1Film Studies - Part 1Course Code: FILM 130 Credits: 3 Following the highly regarded, formally-oriented, approach set out in Bordwell and Thompson?s Film Art, this course explores how form and narrative shape our experience of film. Form relates to how we experience feeling and meaning as film audiences; it also relates to the formal properties of film (such as repetition and variation of distinct motifs or elements, development, and the overall effects of unity and disunity). Narrative relates to the structure of plots and the flow of story information in cinema. Once students understand the formal and narrative properties of film they learn to assess how the highly refined use of techniques ? mise-en-scene, cinematography, editing, sound ? function in the overall system of individual works of film art. Thus students fulfill a main objective of this course: understanding how formal, narrative and technical elements in film collectively function as a language and contribute to the establishing of distinct film styles. | 3 |
| MSTU 120 | Survey of Emerging Media Survey of Emerging MediaCourse Code: MSTU 120 Credits: 3 The media landscape is undergoing constant change as a result of the introduction of new technologies, increasing bandwidth and the development of new appliances. This impacts what media is produced, how it is distributed and how it is consumed. This course provides students with an overview and critical assessment of technological changes in the media and places the changing media landscape in a larger social context by having students study popular theoretical and critical perspectives.Students study alternative media and experiment with handheld devices to gain an understanding of emerging and converging visual and aural media. Case studies of high-quality and interactive websites are included. Students also review blogs, which are dedicated to discussing the digital visual content world. | 3 |
| PHIL 203 | Ethics and Moral TheoryEthics and Moral TheoryCourse Code: PHIL 203 Credits: 3 Whatever our cultural and socio-economic backgrounds, all of us seek to achieve a good life. The purpose of this course is to examine and clarify the moral component of the good life through philosophy, social science, and narrative. Students will broadly consider the following two questions: What should I do? and How should I be? In other words, students will reflect on the ethics of conduct and the ethics of character. The course will discuss moral issues of the sort that people are likely to come across in their everyday lives, as well as social and political issues. The course will begin with a general introduction to the subject of ethics. Students will learn what it means to reflect on the moral life through philosophy and storytelling, and discover how to think critically about moral issues. Students will then examine foundational moral theories in the ethics of conduct, including relativism, ethical egoism, utilitarianism, duty ethics, rights theory, and theories of justice. Next, students will consider different accounts of the ethics of character, or virtue ethics. | 3 |

| FILM 154 | Film Studies - Part 2Film Studies - Part 2Course Code: FILM 154 Credits: 3 Cinema is the foremost art of the last 100 years and as viewers we have developed habits of watching that sometimes obscure our awareness of how the art of cinema achieves its effects and tells its stories. Drawing on the well-regarded formal approach of Bordwell and Thompson?s Film Art, this course introduces students to the technologies and techniques of pre-cinema and to developments from the first half of cinema?s greater than one-hundred year Blaine Allan history. We examine the emergence of conflicting styles and theories of film in the early 20th century as filmmakers and critics attempted to define and defend their preferred versions of this new art form. Three theoretical orientations, realism, formalism and the auteur theory, are explored and applied to examples of cinema from its earliest phases to more recent ones. In light of these historical and theoretical orientations, students learn to critically analyze and evaluate significant films and genres, including the musical, the crime thriller, documentary (including experimental film) and alternative (or art) cinema. | 3 |

| FILM 410 | Film TheoryFilm TheoryCourse Code: FILM 410 Credits: 3 What sort of art is film? Is it best understood as another species of narrative, like novels and plays? What is the photographic image in terms of its maker and in relation to the world that it (seems to) represent? And what is the potential impact and cultural significance of this, the most popular of the arts? Such questions about art, its impact on audiences, and its role in the culture or society at large (its function) have been asked since the time of Plato and Aristotle in ancient Greece. Students briefly examine some of their writings to better understand essential features of narrative arts (Aristotle) and the great seriousness with which such socially and psychologically powerful media must be taken (Plato and Adorno). On this basis, students examine recent accounts of film as language and as a mere mechanical product of a culture industry. They examine the psychological pleasures of viewing and the social meaning of such pleasures. Lastly, they consider examples of film theory and filmmaking that attempt to break with the dominant patterns of representation, which rupture our habits of viewing and insist on a singular vision that challenges viewers in their passivity. | 3 |
