Cinema Studies is an academic field that explores the history, theory, and criticism of film. It examines how movies are made, the techniques used in filmmaking, and the cultural impact of cinema on society. Students learn to analyze films from various perspectives, including narrative structure, visual style, and audience reception. In Cinema Studies, scholars often study different genres, movements, and influential filmmakers, such as Alfred Hitchcock or Frida Kahlo. The discipline also considers the role of technology in film production and distribution, as well as the evolution of cinematic forms over time.
