Cinemaphiles Unite!

Film is a window on the past, an amplifier for the present and a harbinger of our future. The best way to keep cinema alive is to support it: attend films in theatres, support preservation societies and archives, and never fail to appreciate the importance (and stimulating experience) of viewing films as they were meant to be seen.

Exam Study Guide!

This is what you should be studying for the mid-term exam on Friday:

Go over the reading materials (including the Dogme readings linked on the blog). There won't be terribly specific memorization questions re: names and dates but you should be familiar with general concepts and ideas discussed, as well as basic definitions of terms we have been using (such as the various genres, mise en scene, the principles of Dogme 95, and the basic information on color, etc.)

Go over the lecture notes; these are somewhat based on the readings but include additional material you may be tested on.

Be sure you have seen all of the films viewed in class.

Take a look at the blog discussions about films.

Be on time for class. No one will be allowed to leave the room during the exam.
