Video II

Catalog description

Students will expand their video production skills while increasing their knowledge of the history and theory of video. This course builds on a fundamental knowledge of production and postproduction in video to develop the student’s interest in the medium from both individual and collaborative perspectives. Shorter assignments expand on individual students skills in camerawork, sound, and editing. Green screen capture and composite video editing are introduced. The rich potential of visual storytelling is explored through longer projects which require student collaboration and a film crew model. Throughout the course, historical precedents and contemporary examples are viewed and considered as possible avenues for student exploration. Note: Access to a digital video camera is helpful but not required; students have access to Art Dept equipment.
