Course Description

This course begins by developing concepts to discuss cinematic techniques, narrative ideas, musical ideas, and the use of sound in movies. After this foundation, the course turns to contemporary movie epics, such as The Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, and the Harry Potter movies to show how this genre shapes our understanding of heroism, struggle, good and evil, narrative trajectory, etc. Students will interpret individual scenes and the ways that music and sound create an aura of suspense, psychology, power, failure, success, etc. as these movies respond to and create a culture of the heroic.
