Overview
Our Approaches to Cinema History short course introduces you to the study of the history of cinema from 1890 to 1950 and focusing on the key insights of applying historical methods to the study of film.
We will approach the history of cinema from a number of different angles:
- Technological developments and their impact on the art and business of cinema
- Economic analysis of the evolution of the film industry
- The changing roles and working practices of people who contribute to the filmmaking community
- The diversity of film forms and cinema’s relationship to popular culture and to the arts in general
- The range of film audiences and their experiences of spectatorship
- Critical debates and the broad cultural reception of cinema in society
Assessment is via two essays: one of 2000-2500 words (40%) and one of 3000-3500 words (60%).
