Comparison of cinematic and theatrical representations. Relation of African American aesthetics to broader American, European, and Pan-African forms. Historical evaluation and comparison of images created by African Americans and those established in the mainstream milieu. (May be taken at 100 level for graduate credit with consent. This course counts toward the Arts and Humanities distribution requirements.) FMS 94-01 Special Topics: Intro to Film Theory Scarlett Marquette TUTH 10:30 to 11:45 a.m. (Cross-listed w/ ILVS 91-01) Arguably more than any other art form, film has the potential to foster the illusion of reality. As such, it generates a multitude of questions: Can we consider cinema to be a true art form, even though it reproduces the external world in apparently mechanical fashion? How does our experience living life compare with our experience as spectators of film? How does film condition our perceptions of time and space? What are the consequences (representational, psychological, ethical) of filming and disseminating scenes of unspeakable violence or trauma? Is viewing a film analogous to dreaming while asleep, and may we therefore analyze films just as we would dreams and the unconscious? This course is an introductory survey of the critical concepts in film theory from the classical pre-1968 period to the present. We will read representational texts from Formalist, Realist, Soviet, and Semiology/Suture theory, and follow the trajectory to critical race, feminist, and queer theory. Many of the great film theorists were also filmmakers, and we will raise questions about the mutual reverberations of praxis and theory. Students will be encouraged, for example, to stake their own positions in the great debates about suture theory, and how they perceive the relationship between spectator and screen in Hitchcock’s continuity editing. Film theory owes an enormous debt to philosophy—aesthetics, ontology, phenomenology, psychoanalysis; and we will periodically reference those philosophers critical to the development of film theory--Heidegger, Ayfre, Benjamin, Bergson, Lacan. We will establish the frameworks and fundamental questions that film theory inherited from philosophy. We will ask whether film can do the work of philosophy—that is, whether film itself can be construed as a mode of thought, as Stanley Cavell has proposed. Is film, and not merely film theory, on a continuum with philosophical thought? Or does it represent a radical new mode of philosophizing? We will analyze Gilles Deleuze’s reframing of cinema as the evolution from the movement-image to the time-image and the implications of his model for the study of film and philosophy. FMS 94-03 Special Topics: Race for the White House (Cross-listed w/ PS 118-26) Join David Gregory, Tisch College Senior Fellow and former NBC News White House Correspondent and Moderator of "Meet the Press," as he takes you inside the historic 2016 presidential campaign. We’ll look at the campaign side: how candidates devise strategy, use social media, television advertising and target voters. On the media side, we’ll go inside the newsroom to learn how campaigns are covered and candidates are scrutinized. What is the best way to question a candidate? How do reporters ensure fairness in their reporting? Do the media play an outsized role in the campaign by driving the narrative for voters? You will also get some historical perspectives about how campaigns reflect where the country is at a particular moment. And we will try to determine what a presidential campaign and its coverage in the press shows us about how a candidate would lead the country. This course is sponsored by Tisch College, the Film and Media Studies Program and the De-partment of Political Science. (This course counts toward the Social Sciences distribution requirement.)

FMS 94-04 Special Topics: History of Animation Susan Napier TUTH 12 to 1:15 p.m. (Cross-listed w/ ILVS 91-02) This course explores the history and theory of animation, the art form that Paul Wells has described as “the medium of the twenty first century.” But animation as we know it arguably begins at the start of the twentieth century with the whimsical metamorphoses of Winsor McCay and Emile Cohl so we will start there and continue within a generally chronological framework. Along the way we will explore a wide range of topics such as techniques (cel, rotoscoping, CGI), auteurs, (Disney, Miyazaki), music (as emotional amplification and in musicals, music videos), visual effects in live action films, the animated body, television cartoons, experimental/art animation, propaganda, commerce, gender, fantasy and humor. We will also include a section on culturally specific animation, most notably Japanese anime. (This course counts toward the Arts distribution requirement.) FMS 94-05 Special Topics: Film Criticism: Art and Practice Ty Burr F 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. (Cross-listed w/EXP 55) This class will examine movie reviewing as both a practice and an art, and it will use the form to springboard to a larger engagement with cultural analysis as a whole. What does it mean to think critically about the media and popular culture through which we swim every day? What tools are needed to decode its messages? The course will function partly as a historical survey largely (but not wholly) focusing on American writers such as James Agee, Manny Farber, Andrew Sarris, and Pauline Kael. As we move into the modern day, topics will include the rise of genre-based criticism, the schisms and fragmentation of specialist critics and agendas, and how the form and substance of cultural criticism can change with the container (tweet, blog post, episode recap) in which it appears. A second, parallel track will focus on students learning to write professional film and cultural criticism for themselves. Through weekly screenings of classic films and current theatrical releases, and through regular writing and in-class peer editing of reviews, students will receive a grounding in formulating opinions for public consumption in ways that combine journalistic integrity, contextual knowledge, and an individualistic voice that makes for a "good read." FMS 94-06 Special Topics: PR and Marketing: Unraveling the Spin Gail Bambrick M 6 to 8:30 p.m. (Cross-listed w/EXP 52) What is the formula for mind control? Take a little psychology, a pinch of sociology, a smidge of anthropology, some cognitive analysis, and add a healthy dash of strategic media manipulation. Give a good stir. It's all the ingredients you need to decide a Presidential election, repair the reputation of BP after the Gulf oil spill, make more people buy Hondas than Kias, or choose Coke over Pepsi. Primarily using case studies, this course will look at the history of public relations and marketing in the US and how it evolved in parallel with our media environment. We will explore how the mechanics of this global mega-industry create strategies that influence complex world affairs or simply the toothpaste we use. Guest speakers from the industry will share their thoughts. Students will work in teams on a final project to solve a PR/marketing challenge by creating their own ads, messages, and strategic plan.

FMS 99 FMS Internship Leslie Goldberg By arrangement Your internship will teach you about the world of communications through hands-on experience in broadcasting, film production, print journalism, public relations, marketing communications, advertising, publishing, web and multimedia, social media, and other fields. You will learn how media organizations operate and will have the chance to develop skills such as copywriting, editing, web design, social media, blogging, photography, and film production. You will see first-hand how media professionals handle crisis situations as well as their normal daily routines. You may learn that you "have what it takes" for success in a particular field, or you may learn that you don't want to pursue a media career at all. You will certainly learn things that you could never learn in a classroom. This course involves 3 short papers, regular meetings with the instructor, weekly reflections, and 150 work hours in an office under the guidance of media professionals, not in a remote or virtual setting. It is available to rising seniors, juniors, and sophomores. You do not have to be a FMS/FMS major or minor to enroll. All internships are graded Pass/Fail. FMS 164 Children and Mass Media Julie Dobrow TH 1:30 to 4 p.m. (Cross-listed with CD 267) Children have long been considered a "special" audience by broadcasters, advertisers, politicians, educators and researchers. This course will introduce you to the logic behind this designation, through a careful and critical examination of the theory and research on children's mass media use, and the influence of media on children. We will explore the relationship between media use and developmental issues, discuss patterns of children's media consumption, and look at both the content and context of children's media, including television, films/videos, advertising, games and websites. We will examine the empirical evidence that has attempted to assess the media's effects on children in a variety of areas, including gender and ethnic stereotyping, explicitly sexual and violent content in both entertainment and news, and also the educational or "pro-social" effects of media. We'll talk about the wall-to-wall advertising to which children are exposed, and look at the claims that advertising and media use have led to an increase in childhood obesity. And we will discuss the technologically saturated world of iPods, iPads, e-books, cell phones and computers that enable communication and social networking sites like Facebook and MySpace, to see what kinds of effects these technologies might be having on children at different developmental points. We will also critically assess the various regulations that have governed both advertising and programming for children in this country, talk about contemporary regulatory issues and how changes in media ownership rules might affect children's media content. We'll also discuss how technology such as TiVo, the television ratings system, voluntary Internet ratings system and access to the Inter-net affect children, pay some attention to the hot issue of cyberbullying, and will discuss the roles that parent and citizen activist groups play as watchdogs of children's media and the ways in which they can - and do - apply political pressure that results in change. For each topic we cover, we'll be looking both at the theoretical issues that undergird them, and also at the empirical ones that have attempted to assess, test or analyze them. The centerpiece of the class, however, will be your own work. You will have an opportunity to develop a proposal for a significant piece of research in an area of children and media that most interests you. It's my hope that this is research that you will subsequently carry out and ultimately publish, either as part of your MA or PhD program, or as a piece of applied research.

FMS 194-01 Film Representation in Latin America Nina Gerassi-Navarro MW 3 to 4:15 p.m. (Cross-listed with SPN 191) How do films tell stories? What do they chose to represent and how do they represent those stories? This course explores different ways recent Latin American films have dealt with the issue of representation. Focusing on a number of topics such as political unrest, sexuality, and immigration among others, we analyze the effect camera techniques, editing and acting have in the stories conveyed, both in documentaries as well as in fiction films. Films from Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Peru, and Uruguay. Prerequisite: Two 30 level courses or consent. (This course counts toward the Humanities distribution requirement.) FMS 194-02 Advanced Filmmaking Howard Woolf By arrangement Based on a directed study model, this course is for students who can demonstrate -- through course-work or personal experience -- that they are ready to go to the next level in their training as filmmakers. Students who initially qualify will present a business plan for their project and, if accepted, will receive credit, access to production and editing equipment, and a supervised context within which to work. Students will watch a negotiated number of source films, keep a Producer's Log, and write a final assessment, taking into account both the process they went through to produce their film and their reaction to the film once it is done. FMS 195 Directed Study Julie Dobrow, Malcolm Turvey By arrangement Independent work under the supervision of a faculty member on research or creative topic in film or media studies. FMS 198 Senior Colloquium (formerly FMS 29) Julie Dobrow F 9 to 11:30 a.m. Jennifer Burton TH 1:30 to 4 p.m. First course in the two credit/course FMS capstone option, followed by FMS 0199 Senior Honors Thesis/Senior Project. Preparation for senior honors theses or projects in film or media for interdisciplinary majors in Film and Media Studies. Emphasis on defining the topic, articulating research questions or a creative focus, developing the significance of the project, planning and writing a research review, working out a methodology or diary for executing the project, establishing a reasonable timetable. See FMS website for more detailed information and requirements. (This course is a required for all FMS majors, during their senior year, taking a two-semester Senior Thesis/Project capstone.)
