Welcome to Short Film, or as I like to call it, Film Studies. This course is meant to expand your understanding and appreciation of the art of cinema through a study of filmmaking. We will study the history of movies, cinematography, composition, editing, sound, special effects, screenwriting, acting, and directing. All concepts will be illustrated through film clips. Throughout this process, we will view, analyze, and discuss a number of complete films, representing the highest achievement of the art form.
