These tutorials use film clips to clarify and reinforce key concepts and model the critical skills necessary to become informed viewers. They can be shown in class or assigned for students to view outside class, with brief optional follow-up assignments.
A variety of classic and contemporary film stills are available in interactive activities to help students understand film terminology in each chapter by asking them to identify terms using the context of the film.
Hundreds of film clips from influential foreign, experimental, animated, and fiction films are featured in Connect including Lumière shorts, and films from influential directors like Ingmar Bergman, Lotte Reiniger, Oscar Micheaux, and Alfred Hitchcock. Clips are typically 6 minutes in length with a total of 10 hours of content available. Entire scenes are used rather than brief clips and are taken from the best available sources.
