CTF Options

Film Critic (Cust)

Film Critic is an exploration of filmography and the messages that can be found within popular media. As a culture, we find ourselves constantly bombarded by media, which always has some form of message embedded within it. Since we find ourselves surrounded by this, whether it is a fast food ad or “Fake News,” we must be prepared to understand the messages that are being told to us every day. The topics and skills that students will explore within Film Critic can be applied to such diverse media as music, social media, movies, television, and advertising. In this class, we will learn filmography techniques and how they are used to manipulate emotion, and the class will then apply this knowledge by watching 4 films with various themes. Upon watching a film, there will be an assignment based on each film and theme.
