Introduction to Film Studies

Film studies is the science that studies film as a social and cultural phenomenon, an artistic phenomenon and a mass media. In China, film studies is still an emerging discipline, and there are different opinions on its definition and research scope. It is generally believed that film studies is a branch of art, and its scope includes the film development process, film aesthetic characteristics, film creation rules, film classification, and its social role and aesthetic effects.

Film studies as an independent discipline appeared internationally in the late 1940s, and gradually emerged as film art became increasingly mature. In its development process, it is not only connected with sociology, history, psychology, etc., but also interacts with aesthetics and other branches of art. Since the 1950s and 1960s, with the increasing development of interdisciplinary research, film studies have become more closely integrated with other disciplines, and some new sub-disciplines have emerged, such as film aesthetics, film philosophy, film poetics, film psychology, Film sociology and film semiotics, etc. Employment directions for graduate students in film studies
