In this class, we explore how the art of cinema combines elements like cinematography, editing, sound design, narrative structure, and performance; how the interplay of these elements shapes mood, conveys emotions, and communicates messages. Cinematography captures images with artistic intent, editing refines the narrative flow, and sound design enhances the sensory impact. Through examples of some of the films of great directors like Martin Scorsese, Akira Kurosawa, Christopher Nolan, Alfred Hitchcock, and many others, we will explore how these elements collaborate to immerse the audience in a compelling and evocative cinematic journey in some of the greatest examples of film art of all time.
