Students will further their knowledge of video theory, aesthetics, and techniques, as well as gain additional hands-on production experience. Video will be approached as a creative visual communication tool for the exploration of abstract concepts, creative endeavors, and the human condition. Emphasis will be on lighting, sound design, directing, and production management. Video production will utilize MiniDV cameras and post-prodcution will be in a digital non-linear editing (DNLE) environment on a Mac platform, using Final Cut Pro. Students will be attending lectures and technical demonstrations, viewing work of various video and film directors, and producing their own creative projects individually or in groups.
