  • FILM 3820: Advanced Special Topics-Var

    3.00 Credits
    Weber State University

    This rotating upper-division course will provide students with the opportunity to focus in depth on a specific genre of filmmaking (horror, science fiction, romantic comedy, western, etc.) or the oeuvre of an influential filmmaker. The class will grapple with questions of how authorship frames our understanding of the style and ethics of any given film and how genre categories help us make sense of films and their cultural contexts. Students will engage media history methodologies and utilize primary resources housed within the Stewart Library to develop a substantial research essay. By the end of the course students will adopt appropriate critical and theoretical frameworks through which to engage film genres and authorship; cultivate skills for primary source research; undertake scaffolded processes of essay development and revision.
