Students will complete production and editing of a documentary short while they develop the skills needed to shoot for story and for editing. Through lectures, demonstrations, viewing film excerpts, and individual production assignments, students will develop a strong understanding of the different approaches available for documentary filmmaking as they master the technical and more subjective aspects related to the genre. Emphasis will be placed on technical proficiency, including sound, lighting, and composition, as well as on story and character development as appropriate for student projects. Much of the outside class time of this course will be on-location as students will be engaged in the production of their projects through the duration of the semester. Class critiques will be the main tool used to evaluate progress made on the productions. 3 credits. Prerequisite: ARTM3420

This course offers students an overview of the medium's development from its inception to the present. Students view a series of films representative of various film historical periods and cultures (American, European, Asian, Australian, African). Lectures and class discussion place these films in their production contexts (ideological, social, economic, industrial, technological) and compare them to other films of their period. Given this perspective, students, may probe the films and filmmakers' contributions to the development of cinematic language or innovations in film style.

Following a personal tutorial and evaluation of strengths and weaknesses with a Media Arts professor, students then select an area of further study from their concentration. Students prepare a self-initiated design assignment and enter into a "learning contract" with the professor. All design/communication objectives will be stated and the constraints outlined before work begins. The goal will be to produce at least three pieces of work during the semester. International competition projects as well as "real world" assignments may form part of this class if appropriate. This course will be taught in the computer design lab. 3 credits Prerequisite: ARTM3120

3.00 Credits
Students concentrate on the refinement of the job-seeking portfolio by rethinking or re-doing work from previous classes. A mock portfolio miniature is produced which leads to the final presentation piece which is then presented at the end of the course. Examples of other designer's presentations will be discussed and critiqued and members of the design profession will share expertise and views on the subject. Development of resumes, cover letters, and self-presentation will also be topics covered on this important final stage of the visual communications track. This work produced adds significantly towards providing the essential credentials required to obtaining employment in the field or continuing further study at the Masters level. Each student will exhibit an end of course show, which will be held in the gallery. It will be open to the public and form part of continuous feedback to high schools and employers. The organization and presentation within the area or space provided will be the prime responsibility of the student, with advice and guidance from the faculty. 3 credits Prerequisite: ARTM3120 or ARTM4350 Co-requisite: ARTM0400
