This course aims at offering students unconventional perspectives on moving image and sound. Notions of creativity and usages of digital moving image and sound gears as artistic tools are highlighted. Hence, the course strongly encourages mixed genres and personal experiments.
Students will learn the art of moving image and sound that inherently stress the significance of experimentation in visual rhetoric, mass media (TV) criticism, and the spirits of boldness in contemporary art making. Students will learn histories, technological/cultural contexts and artistic practices of experimental film/video art.
As an intermediate level course, students will learn digital video production including camera work and the use of supported gears, the craft of three-point lighting and its variations, and also the knowledge of safety and different types of lighting gears.
After taking this course, students should be ready for upper-level courses that are research-based and aim at exploring further on novelty of time-based media. This course also supports students working on other areas of arts with elements of moving image and sound, such as interactive media, hypermedia and installation art works.
