OBJECTIVES AND CONTENTS
Objectives of the Course Unit:	The aim of this course is to examine video essays, which have emerged as a critical form in film studies; to explore the theoretical, aesthetic and experimental dimensions and to understand the close relationship between theory and practice.
Contents of the Course Unit:	The prerequisite for the course is to have a basic knowledge of any of the editing programs. Digital conveniences in film production have partially facilitated the integration of academic film studies into the practical field; By helping to understand the nature of the field, it has also transformed our view of films, which are the critical material of film. This course focuses on both textual film criticism and the concept of criticism itself, by considering practical applications and critical thinking in the field of film studies. As an experiential and experimental method, videographic criticism offers the opportunity to reflect on film material by combining the theoretical and practical fields of film studies. In the course, concepts such as criticism, archive, and cinephile will be redefined in the context of the digital transformation of cinema and will be discussed through important videographic applications. Some filmmaking approaches redefined by digital transformations will also be discussed.

KEY LEARNING OUTCOMES OF THE COURSE UNIT (On successful completion of this course unit, students/learners will or will be able to)

1. Learn the critical history of film studies and the fractions in this history. 2. The historical, practical and academic integration of video essays produced as a result of videographic criticism is understandable. 3. By understanding the permeability between theoretical and practical knowledge, the student takes an active role in the process of transforming knowledge. 4. In the digital transformation process, the textual is learned through experience and experimentally by returning to historical canonical texts. 5. While questioning "what" the theory is for, this questioning is done in its nature with the videographic criticism method and the unique nature of film criticism is grasped. ​
