Synopsis
In this course, students use Hollywood as a case study to begin to develop core skills in screen analysis, to help them develop an analytical skill set that can then be applied to a range of other media and foci. Students examine the emergence, development, and global expansion of the Hollywood film industry, arguably the most famous national cinema in the world. Students use textual and contextual approaches to examine the industry in light of changing cultural, economic, industrial, political, and technological contexts. Regular film screenings featuring a broad selection of influential Hollywood texts will provide context and enable students to complete the course with a film review for their job-ready Media Studies portfolios.
