Louis Hall 119: Tues, Thurs 1:00PM - 2:50PM

Overview of class

Working in concert with analysis practices studied in RTVF 220, this course will introduce fundamentals of collaboration among artists working in different cinematic crafts over a series of projects that build skills for acquisition and post-production for television, film and interactive
media. Through lectures, labs and individual and group assignments, all students will develop basic skills for work in audiovisual media (cinematography, sound, editing, and screen performance). We
will use the experience of audiovisual production to interrogate contemporary artistic and industrial practices and processes (including how they are affected by race, gender, and class) in this
necessarily collaborative field.

Learning Objectives

Students will work together in artistic teams to develop and enhance skills among those crafts while simultaneously interrogating working structures and industrial norms in terms of the problems of traditional hierarchies and the maintenance of racial, gender and class equity. Techniques gleaned in
production will inform conceptual discussions and analysis, enhanced by viewings of audiovisual media. Through cooperative planning and execution of their own work, students will expand their experience and perspectives on working methods and their critical responses to media across various platforms.
