• Students are able to mention genres of films• Students can make an analysis about a
particular film, e.g. the relation between the constructive elements of films and their ideologies.

ASSESSMENT SYSTEM• All assignments are individual:
– Assignment 1: answering questions on theory & practice (25%)– Assignment 2: feasibility overview on the final project based topic, theory,
and outline of the paper (25%)
• Final Project is also individual:– Composing a paper, a film critique, on a film that has never been
discussed during the class. Students are encouraged to watch and analyse a film that has never been seen before to get fresh impression on the object. Fresh impression is vital in a film critique, just like a child wonders on a new toy he/she has. However, when unable to find a “new” film, student can use an “old” film, but make sure to watch it again to evoke a new impression/wonder.
