CLCS 206T Reading Film on Location: Visual Storytelling, Creative Industry
This course offers an in-depth study of film language through critical analysis and practical engagement with cinema. Students examine key theoretical and technical aspects of filmmaking—including narrative and documentary structures, cinematography, lighting, sound, casting, and location—while interrogating the philosophical and cultural frameworks that shape visual storytelling.
In preparation for an international film festival experience, students engage with concentrated modules on film analysis, contemporary criticism, audience reception, and practical applications. These studies provide the critical foundation for on-site participation in the festival, where students will engage with screenings, discussions, and industry panels. Additionally, video-making workshops on location offer hands-on opportunities to apply their knowledge, bridging theory and practice in a dynamic, immersive setting.
