ARTC344 Video I, Basilio de San Juan Guerrero, Fall 2019
The course is designed to develop both technical and artistic skills using video as a creative imaging tool. During the term, students will have hands-on experience in pre-production, production, and post production. They will learn how to operate a video camera, how to light a subject and how to edit their video shooting on a non-linear editing system. They will also learn how to organize projects creating storyboards and scripts.
The course is divided into two parts: Initial language analysis and assignments to apply the knowledge acquired. The other part is production, which involves: producing, screenplay writing, cinematography, directing, art direction, sound and editing.
Finally, the students will produce a film that is 15 minutes or shorter, that will be screened during the school’s end-of term party. To do so, the students will learn techniques for translating their script into moving images as well as the creative and physical requirements for directing and producing a film.
Graduate Students
Students in MFA, MA, and Post-Bac programs are expected to complete additional assignments and to produce work at a level appropriate for students in a graduate program. They are graded accordingly and, if they successfully complete all course requirements for graduate students, receive graduate-level credit for the course.
