How to Read a Film

Tutor Hilary Smith will lead this in-depth evening of discussion and analysis. Using three contemporary films, 'Skyfall', 'Once Upon a Time in Anatolia' and 'Drive' students will explore how to make sense of films, by focusing on elements such as visual style, sound, cinematography, editing and narrative construction. You don't need any prior film knowledge to get involved just an interest in teasing out the strategies used by film-makers to communicate with viewers.
