FILM 300 World Cinema: Director’s Cut with Professor Itkin What are the qualities of a film that allow casual viewers and cinephiles alike to identify films as distinctly Kubrickian, Hitchcockian, Felliniesque, etc.? Is it the visual style? The meaning-making technique? The unique artistic vision that shines through cinematography? This course explores the legacy of cinematic innovation of some of the world’s most prominent classic and contemporary “film auteurs." Auteur theory argues that certain film directors are able to put an individual stamp on their work such that they can be regarded as the legitimate “author” of their films. Through weekly viewings of select films and critical engagement with a variety of material—including essays, interviews, biographies and supplementary videoclips, topical readings, and discussions—we will test this argument. By the end of the course students will develop an understanding of film auteurs' contributions to the evolution of world cinema and develop an informed appreciation of film as an immersive meaning-making art medium.

The purpose of this course is to learn how to write effective narrative screenplays, with an emphasis on the creation of short scripts. In order to explore and identify basic dramatic principles of story, character, and structure, we will analyze numerous short scripts and films made from them. We will look at how the dramatic principles of short scripts have been expanded and turned into feature screenplays by exploring the work of various successful contemporary writers and filmmakers. Once we establish the basics of effective screenplays, students will apply these concepts to the development of their own original short scripts. By the end of the semester, students will have written several complete short scripts that are ready to be shot on their own, produced as part of a St. Thomas filmmaking course, or that could be developed further into feature length screenplays. This course counts as a production/practice course for students pursuing the Film Studies major or minor and as an elective course for English majors and minors. Finally, this course also satisfies a WAC Writing in the Discipline requirement. Please note that this course does not count towards the core literature and writing requirement.

This course is designed to introduce students to the filmmaking process, from script to screen. We will concentrate our attention on two main elements - understanding the technical concerns of narrative filmmaking (the apparatuses, learning camera functions and techniques, and using editing software), AND developing students' artistic voice through storytelling and film analysis. The course aims to strengthen students' ability to conceive and flesh out ideas that will lead to compelling, authentic, personally meaningful short films and give them the critical foundation of film study and production tools to execute their ideas. Students will begin to develop their own artistic vision and style through filmmaking.
