Student Learning Outcomes
Upon completion of this course, students will be able to:
1. recognize and identify the differences between an “image” driven narrative and a “literature” [title cards] driven narrative.
2. recognize the major differences between acting for the stage as opposed to acting for the camera.
3. recognize the differences between “closed captioning”, “subtitling” and “dubbing.”
4. understand and identify technical, mechanical and conceptual terms and ideas used in the silent cinema world [some of which are unique to a specific film or genre].
5. demonstrate familiarity with the “Business” of the Film “Industry” and the impact the collision between image, concept and bottom line played in what is, probably quite correctly termed: “The Film Industry” as it began in the late 1800s.
6. discuss and demonstrate understanding of a form of “creativity” that depends upon a variety of disparate sources from which to construct something new and, in its way, totally different from anything which has preceded it.
7. recognize and identify these disparate strands by relating them to cinema examples which have come before.
8. apply analytical and critical thinking strategies and techniques to the screening of films toward understanding the various narrative strategies employed.
