Course description

From the CUSD course catalog:
This class is aimed to develop an appreciation and understanding of film as a complex art form. Students will develop the practical and technical skills of digital video production by writing; taping; editing; directing; and acting in their own productions. Students will also study film history; critically evaluating films produced in the United States and in other countries. The course is designed to lead toward the IB Film Study Exam. TOK curriculum will be incorporated during the school year.

From the IB Film Guide:
Film is both a powerful communication medium and an art form. The creation; presentation and study of film requires courage; passion and curiosity: courage to create individually and as part of a team; to explore ideas through action and harness the imagination; and to experiment; passion to communicate and to act communally; and to research and formulate ideas eloquently; curiosity about self and others and the world; about different traditions; techniques and knowledge; about the past and the future; and about the limitless possibilities of human expression through the art form. At the core of the IB film course lies a concern with clarity of understanding; critical thinking; reflective analysis; effective involvement and imaginative synthesis that is achieved through practical engagement in the art and craft of film.
