This course introduces the connected areas of film and television studies, examining core components of cinematic and televisual forms. We explore fundamental principles of these historically dominant, ongoing audio-visual media or artforms and influential scholarship devoted to them, taking in theoretical, formal, aesthetic, industrial, cultural, technical, political, and historical perspectives.
We acknowledge the traditional owners upon whose ancestral lands the University of Newcastle campuses stand.
