FILM 230: In this course, we will consider the complex constructions of “race” in US film, paying special attention to the following questions: How has the category of “race” been historically constructed and represented? Whose interests have these constructions served? Why are these dominant representations often so far removed from the “real” way in which people live their lives? How are these representations connected to the ways in which we continue to think about race? How do underrepresented filmmakers resist dominant representations of race in the present, creating complex and liberating ways to rethink race? Special attention will be given to the language of filmmaking, examining how this language evolves differentially across mainstream Hollywood cinema and in films created by minority filmmakers.

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. Prerequisite DIMA 240 Digital Imagery and Sound.
