Description:
Students intending to take a sequence of courses in film, video, or screenwriting should consider taking this survey of the creative process across digital media. We explore the fundamentals of communicating a creative idea in a variety of formats. Students write short scripts and complete exercises using still images, audio, and video. These assignments are complemented by readings, screenings, and class discussions. Our focus is on the creative process, the art and craft, with reference to history, theory, and current developments. We investigate techniques and technologies, perception, composition, aesthetics, light and color, sound, and narrative and non-narrative storytelling. An overview of major developments in time-based media helps students understand current trends, and the exercises enable them to explore their own creativity using diverse media. Students have access to a simple digital video camera, or they may use their own. (3 credits)
