Experimental Moving Image

Catalog description

This intermediate level undergraduate production class will introduce students to alternative approaches to the moving image, from abstraction and collage, personal documentary and hybrid narratives, to stop-motion and video installation, across single and multiple screens. From creative idea development to experimentation with a wide range of intermediate filming and editing techniques -manipulating time, light, color, and movement - students will refine their technical skills and create several short personal projects, as well as participate in class workshops and exercises. Screenings, readings, lectures, and group discussion will provide insights into contemporary and historic approaches to avant-garde film, experimental documentary, narrative, and video art, and inspire students to expand their moving image practice beyond traditional boundaries. There is a fee associated with this class.
