Capstone Seminar: Film and New Media

Catalog description

The Capstone Seminar provides senior Film and New Media Studies majors with the opportunity to research and develop the concept for their senior Capstone Project. Students are encouraged to integrate studies and practice in (a) writing a research paper that explores a historical, cultural, or theoretical question related to film and new media broadly conceived and (b) making an accompanying creative or curatorial project. Such projects must include screen media, such as micro-short films, interactive installations or locative media that involve mobile apps or projection, or take the form of a prototype for multi-level videogames or interactive narrative or documentary projects. Creative projects must engage with the student's academic research into both the content and form of their creative project.
