The Art and Technology of Moving Images

FTV1017
This course will introduce students to ways of thinking about film as art and medium, from a brief introduction into ancient and early modern visions and technologies of moving images, via how the development of the camera changed the path of art history, to contemporary film theory.
Students will learn about how human visual perception has shaped and is shaping artworks and media technologies, including how conventions from the media of painting and drawing have affected the developments of photography and film. The course has a strong reflection element and will encourage students to think about the implications of film in society, taking into account the impact of particular stories, consideration of the voices of others and minority perspectives.
