This course examines how US filmmakers have used narrative and stylistic techniques to address censorship requirements in US cinema. Though the course will cover early cinema through recent cinema, a major emphasis will be placed on studio-era filmmaking from 1930 to the 1950s, when censorship was at its tightest. Through close film analysis, we will examine how censorship altered films and how filmmakers manipulated film form and style to convey their intended meanings. Our analysis will serve as a way to reflect broadly on methods for making films within constraints, the range of cinematic techniques available to filmmakers, and how creative decisions can impact viewers. |
