    Diegesis, mise-en-scene and chiaroscuro are not trendy Center City nightspots but rather some of the key terms of film analysis. This course introduces students to cinematic grammar, giving them the vocabulary and frames of reference to view and discuss motion pictures in an insightful and critical manner. Screenings largely consist of clips from a wide assortment of films illustrating different aspects of the medium's language, including cinematography, sound, editing and narrative. In addition, some of the most memorable images in cinema history are showcased and enriched with commentary by the cinematographers who made them. Understanding the language of film allows you to get more enjoyment out of your cinematic experience--and to impress your friends at the post-movie discussion! This four-week class is taught by Andrew J. Douglas, Ph.D., Bryn Mawr Film Institute's Director of Education and will meet at the Gershman Y.
