HOLY CROSS FILM STUDIES

   NO OTHER MEDIUM BUILDS FROM OTHER MEDIUMS AS MUCH AS CINEMA. Film brings the dialogue of literature to life, and sound aurally presents the world to us. Our eyes watch the carefully constructed frames as they pass before us, and the manipulation of light and objects add tone to plot.
    This film class will show you how to understand the elements and variables that go into film. Next to learning the elements, we will learn how to critically analyze the pieces and how they make film art. In the end, I hope you find a new respect for all the aesthetics that slowly build the motion picture.
