Comm 245 is the pre-requisite for a film major at The Ohio State University.

This course will introduce students to cinema by analyzing the elements of film technique: literature, story, drama, editing, movement, acting, sound, photography, mise en scene, and theory. Film as cultural product will also be considered. Course activities will include critical viewing, oral presentation, tests, and writing assignments.

Look for other courses in film coming to Columbus State soon. We are working to introduce film as a pre-major at Columbus State.

Introduction to Film Studies I: Film Theory and Criticism and Introduction to Film Studies II: Film Genre are both in the planning stages. These are the next 2 courses for students planning a film major after successful completion of Comm 245 Introduction to Film.
