You will do this by critically engaging with films\u2019 aesthetic craftsmanship and the history in which they were made. For example, you will investigate issues of ethics, politics, and economics through the portrayal of race, gender, and class in film production and consumption: how are these representations used, what do they communicate, and how are they visually and ideologically constructed? These core analytical skills will prepare you to be a conscientious consumer and an aware creator.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You will develop these abilities through courses on the history, theory, and criticism of domestic and international film (E.g., Classical Hollywood, Manga\/Anime and Gender in Modern Japan, and Advanced Film Theory), as well as applied courses on creating film and media (E.g., TV Studio Production, Documentary Video Production, and Lighting Design). As a deeply interdisciplinary concentration, you&nbsp;will take classes across English, philosophy, religion, music, art and art history, theatre, and language departments.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-atomic-blocks-ab-column ab-block-layout-column\"><div class=\"ab-block-layout-column-inner\">\n<div style=\"text-align:right\" class=\"wp-block-atomic-blocks-ab-button ab-block-button\"><a href=\"https:\/\/filmandmediastudies.kzoo.edu\/\" class=\"ab-button ab-button-shape-rounded ab-button-size-small\" style=\"color:#006983;background-color:#eee\">Department Website <span class=\"fas fa-solid fa-square-arrow-up-right\" style=\"font-size:inherit; color:inherit\"> <\/span><\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"text-align:right\" class=\"wp-block-atomic-blocks-ab-button ab-block-button\"><a href=\"https:\/\/filmandmediastudies.kzoo.edu\/faculty\/\" class=\"ab-button ab-button-shape-rounded ab-button-size-small\" style=\"color:#006983;background-color:#eee\">Faculty and Staff <span class=\"fas fa-solid fa-square-arrow-up-right\" style=\"font-size:inherit; color:inherit\"> <\/span><\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"text-align:right\" class=\"wp-block-atomic-blocks-ab-button ab-block-button\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/catalog\/academic-programs\/film-and-media-studies\/\" class=\"ab-button ab-button-shape-rounded ab-button-size-small\" style=\"color:#006983;background-color:#eee\">Courses &amp; Requirements <span class=\"fas fa-solid fa-square-arrow-up-right\" style=\"font-size:inherit; color:inherit\"> <\/span><\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed alignfull is-type-video is-provider-vimeo wp-block-embed-vimeo wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"embed-responsive embed-responsive-16by9\"><iframe title='video' class='embed-responsive-item' title=\"ARTX-200\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/752263328?h=9f6009e09c&amp;dnt=1&amp;app_id=122963\" \"640\" \"360\" \"0\" allow=\"autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The sharp analytical thinking, creativity, and writing skills you will develop as a film and media studies concentrator will prepare you for a career in film or to continue your studies in graduate school.
