This class covers fundamental aesthetic and technical principals of film production. Introductory skills in lighting, shooting, editing, and sound will be taught in conjunction with a critical and theoretical foundation of the moving image. Guest artists will give students the opportunity to see contemporary film arts as they are realized in a variety of platforms including dramatic, installation, documentary, and internet-based projects. Critical analysis of these forms will be explored through a series of student productions throughout the semester.
Online course sections will be delivered online. Required online synchronous meeting times are listed as the meeting pattern for this course section. Additional course components will be delivered asynchronously or as outlined in the syllabus.

This thorough immersion in the nature of film’s language and form moves from ontological media analysis through the historical development of cinematic form and the new perspectives and questions filmmakers address in the contemporary media landscape. Subjects are addressed through creative work, readings, lectures and screenings. Formal, philosophical and practical aspects of cinema and related temporal audiovisual practices are explored in an integrated, holistic structure that emphasizes the moving image as a living, evolving form.
