Description
This course examines the relationship between film and literary text (novels, short stories and plays) and analyzes how narrative is interpreted and re-interpreted through fiction and cinematic techniques. Students will explore how a director translates a writer?s story using the tools of film to create a distinct and unique visual narrative. Just like critically reading a novel, students will learn how to critically read a film and use this knowledge to interpret and evaluate both artistic modes and how they inter-relate and how they diverge. Prerequisite: ENG101
