This course is for students who wish to "think cinematically" in creating time-based work. There will be an emphasis on storytelling through video projects.There will be a secondary focus on historical and critical aspects of video, film, and new media. Technical aspects of video production and postproduction will be covered in lectures and demonstrations: writing, scripting, planning, composing, lighting, audio, shooting, and editing. Selected videos and films will be examined to explore technical and aesthetic practices in cinema. Readings about video, cinema, and new media will incorporate history and critical analysis. Strategies for creating work will emphasize linear storytelling but will not exclude nonlinear and/or alternative approaches.
