*Taught Online*  This is a studio course focused on the fundamentals of pre-production, production, and post-production techniques using digital video. The course is primarily concerned with how patterns of techniques and formal logics interact and shape our experience of space and time. Throughout the quarter we will engage in creative and technical studies, individual projects, readings and screenings that focus on the organization and technical realization of content as well as its interpretation. Videography, lighting, sound design, and editing using Adobe Premiere are taught through concepts and methodologies drawn from fine art, documentary, and narrative film and video making considered across different viewing platforms. The goal is for students to understand how the experience of space and time can be shaped in the film medium, and to leave the course with a grasp of the conventional and self-invented techniques filmmakers use.
