Semester Two Film Language

In the first two lectures of semester two we learnt about The Western; Tradition, the lecture after this we moved onto the development of the western. The films we watched after each lectures were; Winchester ’73 (Anthony Mann, 1950), True Grit (Ethan and Joel Coen, 2010). The next lecture we moved onto Comedy and Romantic Comedy, throughout the lecture we watched a number of clips they included; Bridget Jones, Two weeks’ notice, Sex and the city and Sassy Girl and a few other films.  In the latest lectures we taught about the mind game films within cinema, how a character or story can make you feel and also how they make you think one thing but they do another. In this lecture we also watch extracts from; The Thirteenth Floor, the Matrix.
