Course Description
Summary
This course covers fundamental techniques to create moving image works, including cinematography, lighting, sound recording, and editing. It also provides a conceptual framework for video as an art medium. Students will build individual technical skills while developing an aesthetic vocabulary based on medium-specific audiovisual qualities. Throughout the term we will screen a broad range of examples of film and video works. We will address ideas and techniques spanning storytelling and non narrative approaches, fiction and nonfiction, linear and nonlinear structures, and abstraction and representation. We'll spend equal time on the technical skills and the creative possibilities of sound and image editing.
