AS 3247 - Video Production

Institution:

SUNY College at Old Westbury

Subject:

American Studies

Description:

This course will provide students with an introduction to portable video equipment and a variety of production genres, including documentary, narrative and experi- mental forms. The course will focus on an in-depth under- standing of the portable video camera, including micro- phones and lighting equipment, and will provide an introduction to video editing. Students will explore using video as a communications tool and as a means of artistic expression. They will be encouraged to find stories that are important to them and to find ways to communicate these stories and ideas to others, using moving images and sound. The goal of this class is to use audio- visual tools to communicate in creative and effective ways, and not to just simply mirror television and commercial films. The class will meet once a week for lectures, hands- on practice with the video equipment and screenings of com- pleted works, which will help to illustrate different pro- duction values and develop a framework for critical analysis.
