news *
I can't fix the old pages (it makes me sick). I have to make a new page for the Spring 2003 class (new title and new textbook).If you have problems with terminology, look at 200X Aesthetics first!I plan to use Film-North webpages (new domain name filmplus.org), especially film directing pages. If the students could handle it, maybe some pages from Film600 directory.
There are five main parts in the textbook:
1. Film as an Art
2. Technology: Image and Sound
3. The Languager of Film: Signs and Syntax
4. The Shape of Film History
5. Film Theory: Form and Function6. Media: in the Middle of Things
7. Multimedia: Digital RevolutionAppendix I and II
Read ahead of class time! Take notes! Watch the movies in advance! Subscribe to the forum, if in class.
NEW: you see "bars" like -- topics, subjects and themes. I have to work on them yet. Also, the vertical hierharchy (subdirectories 1 - 2 - 3 ).
Four levels = four parts on each my webpage!
First -- the easiest. Last -- most difficult.
From required (definitions) to recommended
