ARTS 210(F) Video Art
This course is an introduction to the theory, history and practice of digital video production. Students will engage in a series of exercises in video that build to culminate in an independent final project. Foundational skills in camera, lighting, sound recording, editing and DVD authoring will be covered. Class time is divided between hands-on workshops, discussion, screenings, and ongoing critique of student work. Students will be expected to demonstrate that they are learning not only how to produce video technically, but how to engage with the form critically and creatively. A course reader and weekly video screenings will engage students in the history of the medium as artform, as activist tool, as related to filmmaking trajectories, and as mediator of cultural space. Lab fee.
Prerequisites: a 100-level course in cultural/media studies, art history, or media production. Enrollment limit: 10 (expected: 10).
