Course Description

Summary

Intermediate Video builds on the concepts and technical skills introduced in Intro to Video, and has a different theme each term. During this semester of Intermediate Video we will focus on the thematic of the archive and the role of the video artist as archivist. How may an archive inform our video work? How do we interact with or readdress a museum or institution archive? How do we turn a collection into an archive, or build a personal archive? What are our ethics around working with an archive? We will look at moving image works that explore these questions, and dive into the technical aspects of sound and image production and post-production that underline them. We will look at how these ideas and formal innovations are implemented in mainstream narrative, non-narrative, and experimental work, and how filmmakers and moving image artists employ different forms of presentation in the cinema, art galleries, and public spaces. Students will be expected to produce two assigned projects and one final project of their own design that considers installation. All projects should implement specific equipment, software, and techniques discussed in class. Projects can be discrete or form parts of a series. They will also work in groups to complete several in-class technical exercises.
