FILM GENRES

Course Description

This course is designed to explicate the formation and developments of film genres. It also addresses theoretical approaches of film genres and looks at film genres as artistic and cultural forms. In this course, the development of major film genres (including the western, horror, science fiction, comedy, musicals, crime films and animation) will be covered. The genres will be analysed in relation to both socio-cultural structures and with industry and audience practices. In this way students will develop a solid understanding cultural representation in film, stimulating critical, creative and independent ways of thinking about the role of the media in general
