ENGL 390: Film and Literary Studies – Optional Content

Course Description

The course will examine the relationship between film, literature and the culture in which and for which they are produced. Films that adapt novels, short stories, and/or plays will be examined, and films themselves will be examined as texts. A brief review of artistic terms (with regard to writers and film makers) will be provided. These will be the tools used to discuss how the artists affect us in terms of theme, plot, characterization, mood and imagery. This course may be offered with different content. Prerequisite: ENGLISH 281 or instructor consent. 390/590
