Cinema After the Digital

Catalog description

This course introduces students to the history of digital cinema. In the shift from the camera to the computer, the big screen to multiple screening platforms, and the viewer to the user, the production, distribution, and exhibition of the cinematic medium has rapidly transformed in its convergence with emerging technologies. We will trace the contours of this change as it gives rise to new storytelling and filmmaking techniques, exploring topics such as gamic vision, perceptual realism, animation, interactivity, network aesthetics, computer-generated images, and post-cinema.
