        This course examines the development of cinema as an art form from the end of World War II until the present. Film History II begins by reviewing the Classical Hollywood Era then surveys the major cinematic movements that have followed, including Italian Neorealism, the French New Wave, European art cinema, the Chinese Fifth Generation, modern Japanese cinema, South Korean cinema, Bollywood, Iranian cinema and African cinema. All the while, we will track global trends such as the movement from distinct national cinema industries to internationalism, from conventional narrative form to more diverse and stylized storytelling, and from studio-controlled production to independent filmmaking. Students will view and research select films from each period, studying them both as reflective of their historical contest and as one of the social forces that has shaped history.

      • THEA 3530 - Acoustics and Sound Optimization

        The purpose of this course is to expose the student to the fundamentals of acoustics and sound systems optimization. This course features hands-on system tuning and focuses on the causes of the problem we face, not just simplistic solutions. The process of learning how to optimize systems reveals improved methods for system design. Acoustics is the study of the production, control, transmission, reception, and effects of sound; and the qualities that determine the ability of a specific enclosure or construction (such as a theatre) to reflect sound waves in such a way as to produce proximity, clarity, and fidelity in human hearing. Psychoacoustics is the study of how humans react to sound. Together they form the basis of sound design for live theatre.
