The new course, “The Language of Film,” provides Film Scoring majors with an introduction to how film makes visual and narrative meaning through the “language of film,” which includes camera, frame composition, lighting, production design, acting styles, editing, dialogue, plot, genre, themes, sound, and point of view. Students will learn to “read” and analyze film from a Film Studies perspective. Written assignments and in-class activities will reinforce writing, reading, and oral communication skills, with the goal of strengthening students’ abilities to communicate with directors.
