Presented By: Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (50+)
Understanding Movies
A Different Way to Communicate
We will consider the key stylistic elements of movies and how they are used. Like other art forms, motion pictures have their own “language” or “grammar” that enables them to communicate actions, ideas and emotions to us. With many examples and the screening of complete feature films, we will see how mise-en-scene, editing, sound, and narrative structure function.
Our features will include Casablanca, Sliding Doors, Singin’ in the Rain, and 500 Days of Summer.
Instructor Dr. Henry Aldridge is an Emeritus Professor of Electronic Media and Film Studies at Eastern Michigan University. This study group for those 50 and over will meet on Tuesdays, 10-1, from October 23 through November 13. For transportation and parking options, call the OLLI office at (734) 998-9351.
