| COURSE DESCRIPTION | |||||||||
|
Following ARTS 442, this class will serve as a further exploration of time-based media, with an emphasis on video and sound.
Through practice, discussion, research and technical instruction, students will acquire new skills and increase their familiarity with those learned previously. In Moving Image 1, assignments and discussions often emphasized formal concerns - this class will delve deeper into the context of these media, explore the implications of various formal strategies on specific content, and pursue advanced technical knowledge of non-linear digital video editing. | |||||||||

| METHODOLOGY | |||||||||
|
Working alone and in pairs, students will construct around four polished projects, based on assignments.
These projects will be evaluated through group critiques while in process, and when completed. Assignments will be complemented by readings, discussions, technical instruction sessions, and presentations by students, faculty and visitors. Content of projects will be largely student-initiated, while conforming to expectations of individual assignments. | |||||||||
| RESOURCES | |||||||||
|
We will meet in room 336A of the main computer lab in the Art and Design building, though also available is the video lab in room 327. The checkout window is also available to students for securing cameras, tripods, audio recording gear, lights, etc. Students are expected to demonstrate courtesy and respect for their colleagues through keeping equipment safe and returning it on time. The checkout window will be charging late fees this semester on equipment not returned by the end of its loan period. How we will store our projects is not yet clear - students who expect to do much work in video in the future are strongly encouraged to purchase their own firewire harddrives - talk to the instructors for advice on this. Students should purchase a short spindle of blank DVD-R discs for distribution of completed projects. As usual, work with complicated equipment and software will likely be treacherous and fraught with tears, lost data, and sweary language. Students are expected to share knowledge about problems encountered or solved, but also to creatively navigate barriers to completion of projects. | |||||||||
| EXPECTATIONS | |||||||||
|
You are responsible for bringing your own content to assigned projects, and are encouraged to seek the advice of instructors about how to integrate the assignments with your other artwork. Students are expected to conduct their work using the technical platforms introduced by the instructors - using other software (i.e. Adobe Premiere) instead of the ones assigned detracts from an environment of shared learning and problem-solving. Completed projects will be evaluated based on:
