Exploring Movie Construction and Production contains eight chapters of the major areas of film construction and production. The discussion covers theme, genre, narrative structure, character portrayal, story, plot, directing style, cinematography, and editing. Important terminology is defined and types of analysis are discussed and demonstrated. An extended example of how a movie description reflects the setting, narrative structure, or directing style is used throughout the book to illustrate building blocks of each theme. This approach to film instruction and analysis has proved beneficial to increasing students’ learning, while enhancing the creativity and critical thinking of the student.

This topic is considered optional as it would primarily be part of a principles of microeconomics course. If microeconomics is a prerequisite for macroeconomics, this topic can either be skipped entirely, or could be reviewed briefly. In some macroeconomics principles courses, this may need to be presented as new information. Learning objectives of particular interest for a macro course are 1, 2, 7, and 8. Please note that some of the learning objectives contained in this section may overlap with the International Trade unit.
