Provides an overview on the history of cinema (from gimmick to art form to industry) and the development and professional practice of film criticism. Students become familiar with varying means of writing constructive film reviews, the writers who established the need for film criticism and the films and artists whose work demands a written response. This course empowers students to express their voice through written works, with an intent to inspire them to strengthen their writing abilities, apply their voice to their writing and, perhaps, pursue writing as a profession.
