Course Content (Syllabus)
In this course we explore the cinematic style and the ways of its composition, through the analysis of specific examples, focusing mainly on staging. We examine the evolution of staging in silent, sound and contemporary cinema. We analyze scenes where it dominates and explore the auxiliary role of the floor plan.
We analyze the ways of constructing the cinematic space and the function of perspective. We also consider the image system of a film and how it is composed through specific examples.
We explore the characteristics of the Open and Closed Film Form, the organization of action, the utilization of space and the construction of the film time of a scene, making use of the open and closed framing.
We analyze the mise-en-scène and explore its contribution to the creation of the Tone and the Mood of a film.
