ENG 331 Journalism 2 - Basic Reporting

This course includes a range of historical, theoretical, and critical approaches to analysis of film, video, and new media.  Classical theories facilitate understanding of film as art and cultural medium.  Additionally, contemporary theories address interrelations between social, cultural and political issues and attitudes in making and reception of media texts.  Some critical approaches include realist, formalist, auteur criticism, cognitive criticism, genre criticism, spectatorship and reception studies, and cultural and historical criticism. The course also engages its participants as informed readers of global texts and practices.
