Description: Cinema has changed since the inception of the internet, specifically social media. The ways that films are advertised and distributed as well as their content has shifted. In How the Internet Shapes Modern Cinema (and Vice Versa), students will investigate this while exploring the ways that movies have influenced trends and perception on the internet. Students will also leave with a clear image of the ways that members on social media have co-opted film terminology. Through taking this course, students will come to understand how the internet and the film industry interact to create modern cinema.
