Location Watson Hall Room 217
Breanne Oryschak presents the final Free Queen’s class of the semester on “Making Sense of Cinema: Looking beyond Plot and Character for Meaning in Film”
This lecture will survey basic film theories that push the moviegoer to consider aspects of film production and composition, which inform and inflect a movie’s meaning beyond issues of storyline and characterisation. This class will consist of an introduction to film theory, a screening of a short film, and a discussion whereby students can practice applying newfound theoretical concepts to the short film shown.
