reg#24297

In every production situation there are a series of questions, which detail a variety of aesthetic choice. Those issues have to do with camera placement, camera angle, and length of shot, exposure, framing, all light, sound and movement. The Art of Vision is a course structured to increase student sensibility toward the art of filmmaking. This course will examine and answer those production issues in an attempt to make the student aware of the range of possibilities when confronted with shooting on location, in the field or in a studio. Through intense weekly production, lecture, selected screenings, and a high degree of experimentation, students will be guided individually to develop their own filmmaking skill. Students will be responsible for choosing their direction of production, which can incorporate any number of genres, including thesis work. A high level of production will be stressed and students will work in digital video, film, photography and sound-only situations. Students who attend this class should be prepared to work hard to achieve results.
Lab fee is $100
