FVID-205 Experimental Studio I

3 Credits

Through lectures, readings, video and writing assignments, students will focus on alternative modes of production and presentation and the related skills and procedures of film and video making. Students will engage in projects with different takes on traditional forms as well as personal, site-specific and interactive forms of time-based media. The aim is to offer a diverse group of moving image artists regarding race, gender and class to expand the canon that was traditionally addressed in film/art history courses. Conceptual, critical and technical skills will be developed through weekly readings, assignments, screenings and critiques of individual and group work.
