Production as Criticism is a course in both film production AND media
criticism/theory. The course will investigate a single cinematic genre
in two ways:  students will watch movies, read critical texts about
them and discuss them in detail, AND students will make their own
short videos in the genre.   The requirements: students working in
groups will complete several videos: working individually they will
lead one discussion group, write a couple of short (l-2 page) position
papers, and take two exams.   There are no prerequisites, although
students who have had either Cl90 or T283 will have a distinct
advantage.    Production experience is not a necessity.
