Digital Video and Performance
Course Units: 0.25
This is a class of special interest for budding filmmakers, writers, and those interested in acting and performing on video. The emphasis will be on mastering the digital video medium and using it to express the original stories and ideas that the participants are passionate about. We will begin with an introduction to the basic esthetics of film/video, seeing examples drawn from various works. We will explore working with digital video cameras, from shooting to importing footage, and editing video and audio. Then, the class will take on all the major responsibilities involved in the conception, storyboarding, planning, shooting, and editing of a video. Advanced work focuses on the study of various genres of filmmaking and an in-depth look at the work of various directors. The class will build towards the finished production of short narrative and documentary pieces. These will be screened in a ‘Festival of Shorts’ at the end of the year.
