Film Study is a senior English elective for students who enjoy films and who are committed to watching them seriously. This course is designed to teach students how to read a film; students will study how camera editing, and sound techniques help films deliver a message.  Students will watch some of the great classics, as well as some newer films, and analyze them in critical analysis papers. Film terminology and history are stressed.  The reinforcement and refinement of essential skills in language, composition, critical reading and viewing, along with research regarding film topics are also emphasized.
