This course supports ongoing development of both the technical and aesthetic principles of film and media art production. The course includes hands-on exercises and projects that explore individual and collaborative approaches to creation. Emphasis is on expanding student awareness of film and media in a range of screen and gallery-based practices. Principles of camera operation, composition, lighting, sound design, and editing are explored through class projects. Classes incorporate presentations, demonstrations, screenings, and field trips. Both individual and group projects go through several stages of critiqued development, from concept to completion, as students experiment with their unique approach to form and content.
