Students will explore how movies, TV shows, and film are a mirror for societies fears and obsessions. We will look at film as an art form and examine the various art forms that come together to make cinema. Students will analyze film as a modern medium of storytelling, character development, and learn cinematography to understand the ways directors guide not just the actors and action, but most importantly the audience. 

**Movie times vary, so be prepared to come earlier or later.**  Information will be posted on our online Canvas class section.  Each film will have a written analysis and will be followed by group discussion. Films to be selected as they come available. 

Permission slip required for the class. This course can be taken twice and counts as a high school English elective. *See Mr. Hassen for Advanced Cinema requirements.*
