MOVIES & STORYTELLING:Do you love movies? Do you like to talk about what makes a movie great? In this class you have the chance to do just that. Each week we will watch a full length movie, a film short, and film clips to learn how filmmakers tell great stories in film. We will analyze how stories are told without words, how conflict drives plot, how theme and character are developed, and how setting impacts story. You will also learn about film techniques such as light and shadow, sound and music, camera angles and editing. You can look forward to sharing one of your favorite films and leading a discussion of its merits.
