This production course introduces students to the fundamentals of working in video and the language of film. Drawing on the energy and experimentation of avant-garde film and contemporary video art practices, students will complete a series of projects exploring cinematography, mise-en-scène, editing and sound design before producing a final self-determined project. Concepts crucial to time-based media such as apparatus, montage and identification will be introduced through screenings, discussions and texts by a diverse range of artists, filmmakers, and theorists. Emphasis on technical instruction, formal experimentation, and critical vocabulary is balanced in order to give students a footing from which to find their own stakes in the medium.
