Media Aesthetics

These are all my notes from the seminars of Media Aesthetics at the UvA. I had the course coordinator as my teacher so they're very complete. They helped me get a very good grade on the exam.

These are my detailed summaries of the extra readings for Media Aesthetics including topics such as semiotics, Mise-en-Scene, Recording Reality (documentaries) and Film Ideologies. My grades: 8.5 written assignment & 6.6 final exam. Class of 2018

These are my detailed summaries of the chapters 1,2,4,6,8, and 9 from the book Looking At Movies by Richard Barsam. My grades: 8.5 written assignment & 6.6 final exam.

I included all information which we needed to study for the exam from the book Looking at Movies and all the information we got in the tutorials/seminars. I only studied from my own sheet and got a 7.2. Hopefully it will help you out too.
