Multimedia Storytelling

Catalog description

This course explores--through critical analysis and production--the ways in which text, image, and sound can be combined to tell stories in ways not possible through a single medium. The focus of the course will vary from one semester to the next; some possibilities include journalistic investigation, advertising campaigns, documentary, and fictional narrative. An emphasis will be on collaborative production work, to simulate the production processes common in the professional media industry. This course is designed for junior and senior Communications majors or minors who have completed course work in one or more areas of media production, such as video, photography, and/or digital illustration. Others who wish to register for the course may do so with permission of the instructor.
