Cell-phone Cinematography ((4 Credits))

Catalog description

Although many market and political forces would like to maintain cell phones, iPods, iPads and other new media technologies solely as devices of distraction and entertainment, we have the capabilities and ingenuity to restore their potential as tools of social transformation and education. Students in this study will learn framing, camera movement, sound recording, control of natural light and the basics of story telling for small digital formats. We will also study compression techniques, hosting videos, and discuss the best distribution options or delivery mechanism for your project.
