About the Program
Course Number: CINE-NT 1
The Future Film Scholars Workshop is a free program for motivated, articulate, and creative high school first-years, sophomores, and juniors who are devoted to seeing, learning, and writing about film, television, and moving image cultures.
While some of our Future Film Scholars students may be interested in making their own films, this program does not include the practice of filmmaking but instead focuses on the history, criticism, theory and cultural significance of moving images. This course is designed to introduce high school students the varieties of film practices (e.g., fiction, documentary, animation, experimental/ avant-garde, video art and new forms of digital media).
Watch
The course will provide students with:
- a basic foundation for further study of film and the moving image arts
- an understanding of such concepts as narrative structure, genre, editing, composition within the frame, cinematography, sound and sound image relations.
Students will complete a weekly film journal where they will be asked to write about films and discussions from class as well as on films assigned outside of the class period each week. Students will also be expected to write up to two formal film analysis papers of up to 7 pages each on assigned films/topics. The class will culminate in a small conference or printed collection of student essays.
