Film theory seeks to develop concise, systematic concepts that apply to the study of film/cinema as art. Classical film theory provides a structural framework to address classical issues of techniques, narrativity, diegesis, cinematic codes, "the image", genre, subjectivity, and authorship. More recent analysis has given rise to psychoanalytic film theory, structuralist film theory, feminist film theory, and theories of documentary, new media, third cinema, and new queer cinema, to name just a few. See also film criticism.
Ohio State is pleased to offer FILMSTUDIES, a brand new, innovative, and interdisciplinary program that explores one of the most important art forms of the last century.
The FilmStudies Major concentrates on cinema as a multicultural phenomenon, and shapes its study as a humanistic discipline.
Students complete core courses in basic film analysis, history, and theory, and then go on to take classes in early cinema, a multicultural component, film electives, and a focus area generated by the student in consultation with a faculty advisor.
