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 production and post-production in 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 in this necessarily collaborative field.

Learning Objectives

Students will work together in artistic teams to develop and enhance craft skills. 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.
