Description:

Film workshops provide instruction in specific areas of film and related audiovisual practices that benefit from focused and intensive study. 270 level workshops are appropriate for all students with an interest in film, and are designed to accommodate beginners and intermediate-level students. 370 workshops are intended for more advanced students, and are intended to follow other courses in the film program.Experimental Music Video Workshop examines the music video as a cultural artifact and, controversially, inheritor of experimental film practices. Students explore the history of the format and its many precursors in experimental and installation film, as well as in advertising design and the music industry itself. After a thorough examination of the recording industry, musical genres and traditions, performance technique and documentation, students create several music videos, focusing on Performance Video, Experimental Video, and Narrative Video, culminating in a hybrid project of their choosing. Students are encouraged to form “production companies” and contact and collaborate with musicians, vocalists, and artists in their local scene. (highly advised) PREREQUISITE: Film 2 ProductionOnline course sections will be delivered mostly asynchronously, with some synchronous components that will be outlined in the course syllabus if applicable.
