CTS533 : Cinematography 1 / College of Creative Arts

This course exposes and train students to the theoretical aspects of the art and science of cinematic storytelling with an emphasis on how filmmakers tell a story (or more than one story). As cinematic storytelling does not solely depend on composing a set of moving images, film students need to understand the theoretical positions as well as the essential techniques of cinematic theory and methods. This course is aimed to improve film students’ critical responsibilities as needed for the complex task of filmmaking as well as film analysis. Discussions will focus on specific topics in film techniques and purposes with attention to film content literacy.
