We are delighted to share Dr. Colleen Laird’s new video series on formal film analysis focusing on Japanese Cinema. These videos are intended for use in Japanese Cinema and Media classrooms and include student-centered exercises, but all viewers with an interest in learning foundational skills associated with introductory-level film analysis are invited.
The first two instalments of the four videos in the series are now available for viewing.
Part One: Japanese Cinema: Mise en scene
Part Two: Japanese Cinema: Cinematography
This Open Education Resource video series was made possible with financial support from the Department of Asian Studies at The University of British Columbia. Copyright: Creative Commons.
Before this video series, Dr. Colleen Laird has also released a video series on J-Horror, in which she interviews scholars of Japanese horror on their work and key films. The videos could be found via Dr. Laird’s YouTube channel.
