Film Minor

The Department of Theatre and Film offers a film minor. Many students pursue this minor as an enhancement to their theatre degree. The study of film encourages students to explore the relationship between film as an expressive art, and the interaction between films and the cultural and society of which they are a part. Through the study of film forms and structures ˜mise-en-scene", cinematography, editing, sound, screen writing and acting, students learn how these elements create meaning and shape an audience's understanding of film narrative. For more information, contact Dr. Anna Banks, who coordinates the film program.
