Description

(Offered as ARHA 221 and FAMS 221) This introductory course is designed for students with no prior experience in moving image production. The aim is both technical and creative. We will begin with the literal foundation of the moving image--the frame--before moving through shot and scene construction, lighting, sound-image concepts and final edit. In addition to instruction in production equipment and facilities, the course will also explore cinematic form and structure through weekly readings, screenings and discussion. Each student will complete a series of exercises, a collaborative project and a final video assignment.  Two 3-hour classes a week (one workshop/seminar and one lecture/screening).

Admission with consent of the instructor. Limited to 12 students. Fall semester.  Professor Levine.

If Overenrolled: Priority will be given to FAMS and ARHA majors, then attention will be given to achieving a mix of majors and Five College participation.
