This unit focuses
on two key aspects of Film Studies:
- producers and audiences and the relationship
between them
- the role of macro features of film (narrative and
genre) in constructing meanings.
These will be
studied in the context of two national cinemas – those of the UK and the USA.
Critical understanding will be fostered through:
- the interrelationship between producers and
audiences, with a particular focus on aspects of the film industry and
audience behavior
- narrative and genre characteristics of UK and US
films
- personal response to films, mediated by the study
of films and their contexts.
This unit
emphasises the interaction of its twin areas of study: the film industry (as
producer/supplier of films) and audiences (as purchasers/consumers of films).
This provides a context for the study of the narrative and genre features of UK
and US films, including the ways in which they represent social reality.
This unit is examined with three questions.
