Content / Inhalt
This course is an introduction into one of the most widely used methods of research in the MA Film: Analyzing movies. The basis of the course is Kristin Thompsons text Neoformalist Film Analysis: One Approach, Many Methods, which will be read in preparation of and during the course. We will look at many extracts of film and discuss, among other things, their narrative structure, their formal properties, and how they are constructed to convey meaning.
