Description
Since the advent of cinema, filmmakers have relied on special/visual effects (VFX) to create compelling characters and film worlds, and yet the study of VFX is a relatively new subfield within media studies. This course offers a survey of the history of VFX from the late 1800s to the present and will track important historical and stylistic developments of special effect technologies and practices. While our screenings will focus on international narrative cinema, we will study key debates within media theory as well as practitioner discourse (e.g., written work by VFX industry workers and
"behind-the-scenes" featurettes) in order to explore how special effects bridges diverse media forms, from narrative film to experimental cinema, animation, advertisement, installation art, video games, digital technologies, and more.
